Unsubscribing from uninteresting corporate newsletters I never subscribed to – good idea? Or stupid because I confirm I receive them?

@stilkov “mark as spam”. Also set the mail client to not load remote images by default because they use those to track receipt too.

@tastapod Have been doing the latter for years.

@stilkov They probably have a tracker that triggers on opening anyways.

@stilkov mark as spam. you never see them again and the newsletter spam gets the reputation it deserves

@stilkov I usually just “mark as spam” because of the latter.

@stilkov I’ve noticed legit companies respect the unsub.

@stilkov just create an email filter …

@stilkov just add a spam-filter-rule and be done with it. No reason to confirm your existence ;) That's what I do.
