I used the unsubscribe link, but still received emails. Looking in more detail I had to unsubscribe from about 20 separate email channels.

It wasn’t possible to delete my account until I’d unfollowed the webinar channels I was following, so I did that and was finally able to entirely delete my account there.

And three hours after apparently successfully deleting my account, these clowns are still sending me emails. MAKE. IT. STOP.

I did that for a while but it ended up being more trouble than it was worth. Most of this stuff is manageable with GMail’s β€œpromotions” tab. It takes something truly heinous like this before it causes me any trouble.
