Click here to unsubscribe from Slorp marketing emails. First log in. Forgot password? Click here to reset. Hmm, doesn’t appear to be a user account with that email address. Create an account? Check your email for the activation link. Confirm your contact information. Consent to tracking cookies? Manage notifications. Unsubscribe from all? We’re sad to see you go!

Slorp? That’s a weird way to spell Twitch.

You could just do the “report spam” if the unsubscribe link doesn’t immediately work.

Yeah, the CAN-SPAM act, as far as I understand it, doesn’t allow them to force you to make an account just to unsubscribe.

Thats assuming they obey it, and that its US based and under US law jurisdiction.

and as I learned with the national do not call registry, it is utterly meaningless and does nothing to prevent the issue at the best of times.

It’s surprising how often they don’t comply. I think for while adobe was asking me for a login to unsubscribe, which I couldn’t remember or be bothered to reset the password for. They seem to have changed it recently. Maybe a lawyer realized they were exposed to class action

Every platform with enough technical resources should support one click unsubscribe.

I never understood the concept of making it difficult to unsubscribe. Marketers have a hard enough time getting users to open email at all. Let users help you clean up your subscriber list with an easy opt out to reduce your send cost and improve deliverability.

I just assume these are the same marketing types that will spend billions in ads offering anyone under the sun 1/2-off everything for a year. Customers that have been paying faithfully every month for years? Fuck off!

That, and there’s a high likelyhood the only thing the unsubscribe button would do is giving the spammers the valuable information that this email address is actually in use.

like answering a spam call. all it does is register a good number and amplify the spam.

Same here. Is there any way to disable the prompt entirely and always just report?
