I know, which is why i included
I’d know if I subscribed to something, I’m not even opening spam let alone click a link in it.
Perhaps I could have written that more clearly. Despite not all spam and malicious emails being easy to spot, for me the opposite is very true: i can spot whether I subscribed to something or not. If I believe I didn’t, it goes straight to spam. If it turns out i barely or ever read something I subscribed to, I rather unsubscribe then delete or move to spam each individual message every time I get one.








How am i moving a goal post? I’m making that differentiation because it wasn’t made in the initial comment:
If you assume something, context matters. Later in the chain it is pointed out one context could be spammers:
Which is why I’m pointing out that is not the only possible context and you can make a differentiation. Nowhere am I saying unsubscribe buttons always work or are always to be trusted, nowhere am I saying this only applies to newsletters from genuine companies. You can only move goalposts once it is established where those posts are in the first place, bud.
