So as part of my continuing campaign of tidying up my email and laptop, I’ve been attempting to unsubscribe myself from as many “newsletters” as I can. Mainly because I very very rarely read them. The likelihood of me reading one is quite slim. Anyway, after unsubscribing to four newsletters in a row this morning, it strikes me that people who email these newsletters to people should really take more care to display their unsubscription notices in a more prevalent location.
More often than not, they’re a little link buried at the bottom of the page which to be honest, doesn’t help. I know why they do it, but at the end of the day, I don’t want people to keep emailing me about some TV I could win (if I lived in America), or the best loan offer (if you have a squeaky clean credit rating and are prepared to commit debasing acts to get one), or even the best insurance offers (normally not the best).
So today’s tally is upto an amazing 4 unsubscribed emails. I wonder how many more I can get rid of?
I buy lots of stuff online and I find that I’ve been magically subscribed to their newsletters (even though I tick the relevant “Don’t send me stuff” boxes). I unsubscribe from about 3 a day
I have the same problem, and I’m left scratching my head as to whether I did actually click that button. It’s very frustrating. I have an interesting story about one company who repeatedly refused to take me off their mailing list. It’ll have to wait for a while though.
