I recieved this email today. I don’t use twitch, only made an account once for some specific purpose. I don’t know these people and I’m a 100% certain they don’t know me. This is just toxic marketing to lure me back in.
Request removal from emailing list or mark it as spam.
Peter: I wouldn’t say I’ve been “missing” it, Bob. 😉
Those aren’t even real people. Those “usernames” are the names of custom emojis you can use in Twitch chat. Still weird in context, but I can see how it would be even more creepy if you didn’t know that.
Those aren’t emojis, these are emojis (-; :p o-: 0==8 <3. In my time, we still had respect for our elders.
Now get off my lawn!!!
If you dont meed it any more, just have your account deleted
I believe that you can only deactivate through the menu but need a direct link to the deletion page
OP created an account > didn’t signed out on emails > gets email > 😠😠😠😠
No, but seriously, this is not toxic marketing, the “users” are emotes, something very clever but that is lost on you and that’s fine; but to call it toxic… I don’t know Rick.
- I will keep the comment as is, I was informed this is illegal in some regions. Marketing is… marketing & as someone that has worked for agencies I am knowledgeable enough to admit that some tactics are indeed invasive an/or dubious. No offense to anyone was intended.
Didn’t know that. Can you tell me who is supposed to enforce this and where is the law from?
When you accept the ToS I always understood that I was signing in for emails, just like (in my experience) 100% of other services/sites like Spotify, Proton, Bandcamp, eBay, Facebook, X, GitHub… well I’m not gonna list every single one but you get me.
Still, thank you for educating me.
