I joined a webinar on the @brighttalk platform last week and now my inbox is 50% emails from them. Needy growth hacking is an ugly look. Give it a rest.

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.

And another one this morning.

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.

Your threshold is way lower than mine. Many of the services or businesses I interact with from my work address send me occasional useful or interesting stuff, and it goes in a folder for me to interact with on my own terms. When that folder is 50% from one company, that’s bad.
