Block, report spam/phishing
report as spam in gmail works better :)
What I do with these sometimes is replying to the e-mail itself with a message that has only the text unsubscribe in all caps. Might add that to the subject as well.
Sometimes it works.
I used to manage an email queue that collected both GDPR requests and responses to marketing emails and saw a fair number of those. Many companies have it setup to forward responses to marketing emails to a support queue somewhere, but some don’t
Set up a small raspberry pi device that is.programmed to constantly spam them with nonsense emails and give it a decent battery and casing and hide it near somewhere with public wifi.
Maybe tie it into that Wisdom of Deepak Chopra text generator or something.
Mark it as spam.
I just report spam and block these types. It’s a them problem, not a me problem.
It’s called StubHub because this feels as bad as stubbing your toe.
That’s one of the most unethical ways to have users unsubscribe, and it’s done on purpose.
Companies who do that should get DOS attacked until their email infrastructure crumbles.
Glad this is highly illegal in the European union.

Doesn’t stop this happening to you though.
I send out tonnes of GDPR threats to these companies and I wonder if they go anywhere
Github does the same. You can’t unfollow threads without logging in.
Microsoft has really messed up GitHub. Logs you out automatically if you haven’t visited in a few days, constantly asks you to verify your 2FA, and the new feed makes it extremely difficult to track engagement on your own projects.
The worst one for me is that they allow you to view your recovery keys any time - IMO this is a really bad practice, recovery keys should only be shown once after a user has set up 2FA
Probably going to move to Codeberg since I’m seeing a lot of projects making the jump over there, but the real solution IMO is a federated version control system
