1/2 (see cont'd rant)

Omg, Proton Mail has been sending me so much junk. I'm not really using this account for anything, but I just logged on, and there were over a dozen messages touting all their products. Yuck. I finally went into my preferences and unticked all the boxes that had been ticked by default when I opened the account.

I need to be much more aggressive about unsubscribing from all junk email. I've been doing it as I implement my new system, but I've got a ways to go. My weapons in the war against junk are unsubscribing, using filters, and deactivating aliases.

BEST junk marketing email, EVAH! It actually said “Dear [FNAME]”. I’ve clearly got to get something from that fine company! 🤪

My email inbox gets probably about as much junk as anybody's.

But I also use email "funnels"; when asked to give my email address, I often create a unique one, so if I later start seeing junk sent to it, I'll be able to narrow down the source.

Today I got a message to one I had used in 2018 from [email protected] with just my first and last name, address, and phone number (all badly formatted, as from poor automation), and an attachment in PDF telling me what a naughty boy I've been and telling me to pay $1950 in bitcoin within one day or the sender would tell the world. It even included a picture from the street in front of my house, but of the house next door. It claimed that the messages had a "special pixel" that would tell the sender that I had read the message, but it didn't.

Don't these little weasels realize that some people would pay good money to receive this kind of verbal abuse?

Though it's not my kink, it all still brought me some amusement.

I'll be glad when Christmas is over so I can stop getting 63 emails under my Promotions tab.
