Obviously not looking for hyperaccurate answers, just in general, how many people tend to unsubscribe from promotional emails and how many tick the option “I never signed up for this”?

Professional marketer here, all of the unsub rates in this thread look nominal (0.1-0.2%).

Also, when we run third party distribution campaigns, a large amount of people, I can look at their hotjar journey and watch in real time their mouse movements as they download a whitepaper, then we call them and they say they never downloaded it.

It’s a mix of lying to the annoying marketing company (I get it), and just plain forgetting you did it.

I switched from Hearthstone Deck Tracker to Firestone Deck Tracker yesterday, I’m not entirely sure if I checked to see I wasn’t signing up for marketing emails, it’s that easy.

Not to mention, I can buy just about any non-EU email address i want on demand.

What does this mean? Like, you can just point to a random person and pay someone to get you their email?
