Email has been around for so long but it’s still like the Wild West. I can’t tell you how many times I run into similar situations and then add on broken / no links. Or the revolving door of never being able to successfully unsubscribe from things 😩
if it's gmail report them for spam. after we times they get sent to spam jail and you've effectively killed their gmail marketing channel.
Definitely not, but what I’m more curious to know is if this(wherever it’s used) is legal, and why.
This is so not ethical lol I’m imagining it doesn’t comply legally either if intent is to hide it?
Loving stuff like this. It makes my decision to for ever screen them out of my inbox easier!
