No need to feel bad about it.
Marketers know that a lot of people immediately unsubscribe but they also know not everybody will. They still turn a profit after the discount and also just made a sale!
Additionally, I wouldn’t be surprised if some merchants pass along/sell your email address, since now its in their system.
Also: companies will fuck you over any chance they get. You’re breaking no laws. Use every tactic you can to claw back any of your hard earned money you can.
Also: don’t use your real details to subscribe. It is best to have a burner spam email address, a burner prepaid sim card and use a made up address.
Also, just to push a point, don’t fret over if it is illegal or not. Just be sure you can safely not get caught. Otherwise, all is fair because, trust me, the companies operate on that same logic. They will do all manner of illegal methods to profit off of the working class because they know they can get away with it. So we should be entirely willing to do the same.
Just to reinforce your point. Many business schools teach that making money is more important than abiding by the law, using Carroll’s pyramid of corporate social responsibility.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_social_responsibility#Definition
“Carroll’s pyramid of corporate social responsibility”. That title indicates it’s not bullshit at all, and yet it is! There is no economy without functioning healthy humans. That’s why there is less of an “economy” nowadays and more of a “holy shit! what have we gotten ourselves into?” moment.
I really wanna be able to go about my life and not feel like I’m in hiding or witness protection or something of the like. It’s so demoralizing that it’s coming down to having fake backups for your fake backups.
With facial recognition taking off youll need full disguises to get groceries at a reasonable price soon
Tha’s why I give gibberish emails whenever I can
myemailprefix+whateverwebsite@emaildomain.com
“Sorry, + are not allowed in email addresses.”
Fine, 🙄 you get one of the garbled addresses from my vpn service, which is even less useful to your scrapers.
website@mypersonaldomain.com is pretty great too with a catch-all mailbox set up
In 99% of online purchases you have to give them your email either way, so it doesn’t really matter if you additionally sub to their newsletter.
Say a thank you to the FTC that there is a one click unsubscribe. Your nanny state libtards made that possible. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/10/federal-trade-commission-announces-final-click-cancel-rule-making-it-easier-consumers-end-recurring
Didn’t the Republicans immediately repeal that when they came to power?
Nope, but they stripped the department down and put in a stooge as chair/commissioner. A shame since the last chair was smart and motivated, Lina Khan.
They got your $85 and your data. Worth the 15% by far.
Jokes on you, your email will never be deleted and has already been added to 1000 marketing dbs.
I set a rule to put every email with the ‘usubscibe’ word in it straight to junk. They can all rot in the jail together.
Subscribe and save is just the original product price before they marked it up
Just use a disposable email. There’s no guarantee that the company didn’t delete/ unsubscribe your email
Use catch-all emails so if someone shares you know who
“Dude. Dude. We not only got your personal data, we also got a sale which was, let’s be honest, still plenty overpriced, just a little less so now. Yea, you ‘got’ us…”
That’s not evil or even wrong a tiny bit. In fact, you never even received the item when it was delivered, it was just a brick, so go and make a full refund claim.
Fuck Amazon
They still keep the record of all the information you provided, likely including email, name, what you purchased, with what payment method, and more.
They will be able to make statistical inferences of your socioeconomic status variables and can and will resell that data to others who will absolutely not give a shit about your unsubscribe status. In the end it may be worth the 15% off for her, but it is definitely not scamming them by unsubscribing.
Which is why you use a burnable email
That keeps them from contacting you, it doesn’t keep them from storing information on you. Your name, address, and credit card are all things you have to give them to get the thing you purchased.
Unrealistic. They hide that unsubscribe button or make it not functional.
Also hijack your back button as punishment.
I’m fucking tired of all these websites making you give your email, and hunt for a coupon and a sale to buy something while Amazon has the same item for the same “discounted” price from the get go, as much as I hate supporting Amazon, these other companies don’t make it any easier to buy from them, and on top of that their orders take 6-10 days to deliver and many times require a minimum dollar amount before free delivery kicks in, while Amazon can deliver it in 2 days for free.
Yeah I tend to avoid Amazon and only extremely rarely do I buy from them. I mostly buy on eBay and direct from the company websites nowadays
No offending supply side jesus
10minute mail! I’ll never get your marketing emails, and I’m a new customer every time!!!
Remember to use an alias for your email for this kind of shit.
I never thought that it could immediately be cancelled. Gonna use it from now!
