Thank you for your purchase, we will now email you literally every day, somehow, because there is so much news in the world of our shirts that you need a daily briefing
@marcoarment we have your email now and we will be damnd if we don’t milk it till it is dry!

@marcoarment Had that recently with a food order. Took them a week to just *ship*, and each day the e-mails had nothing to do with shipping.

I had turned off *every* "subscribe to our newsletter" and still got a "confirm subscription to newsletter" message (that I rejected).

At least the reply address worked, when I contacted them telling I hadn't even received my first order and had gotten more e-mails than days, they quickly took me off the lists. But WTF???

@marcoarment Thank you from unsubscribing from our newsletter; we're sorry to see you go. We will honor this request for about six months then start sending you emails again anyway.
@mike @marcoarment
Move to junk. Block sender.
@marcoarment You've been unsubscribed.
Please tell us why you've done this to us.
And would you like to subscribe?
@marcoarment ... Thank you for unsubscribing from the daily shirt newsletter. Would you mind spending 20 minutes filling out a short, 50 question survey? If you don't have time that's ok, we'll remind you 10 more times.
@marcoarment The combo of Fastmail + 1Password, and how simple making masked emails on the fly is, has saved me on this (thankfully).
@marcoarment and then five emails following up, begging for a review
@marcoarment fwiw, the daily briefing would be a great newsletter name for an underwear company
@marcoarment i do NOT buy pants every day of the week.
@marcoarment
I bought *expensive* hiking boots direct from the manufacturer. A week after, they sent me an unsollicited "newsletter" explaining the "exciting destinations" I might want to try, ffs.
@marcoarment You ordered a replacement belt for your lawn mower from us, therefore we are best friends now.
@marcoarment just one too many of these is what pushed me over the edge to where I’m now working on scrubbing as much of myself off the internet as I can and still use it as myself.
@marcoarment
Do the shirts have AI?
@marcoarment it feels like we’re caught in a marketing emails arms race for attention that’s only getting worse

@marcoarment Would you like to hear about our shirts:

Twice per day
Once per day
Never

@mattiem @marcoarment And on the one day in 500 you are actually interested in said shirt, the first thing you will be greeted with is an invitation to subscribe to the newsletter.
@marcoarment From their point of view, emailing every day presumably gets more sales than some more reasonable frequency like once per month (maybe because once per month is easy to miss or ignore?) Yet when you're on the receiving end, once per day is an obvious absurdity. It also sounds like a lot of work...
@marcoarment
Or the “We’d love to see you socially” Tap the brakes, we’re not dating.
@marcoarment I bought a set of tires this year and now that tire chain thinks I’m in the market for more tires every week. How many tires does a one-car single person need?!?
@marcoarment Thankfully Roark has great shirts.
@marcoarment if i wanted to hire one of you guys to help me with a project, how would i do that? I am asking your partners the same thing.
@Timbo69 Sorry, the only person who can hire me is me.
