Marketers know that a lot of people immediately unsubscribe but they also know not everybody will. They still turn a profit after the discount and also just made a sale!
Additionally, I wouldn’t be surprised if some merchants pass along/sell your email address, since now its in their system.
Also: companies will fuck you over any chance they get. You’re breaking no laws. Use every tactic you can to claw back any of your hard earned money you can.
Also: don’t use your real details to subscribe. It is best to have a burner spam email address, a burner prepaid sim card and use a made up address.
Also, just to push a point, don’t fret over if it is illegal or not. Just be sure you can safely not get caught. Otherwise, all is fair because, trust me, the companies operate on that same logic. They will do all manner of illegal methods to profit off of the working class because they know they can get away with it. So we should be entirely willing to do the same.
Just to reinforce your point. Many business schools teach that making money is more important than abiding by the law, using Carroll’s pyramid of corporate social responsibility.
“Carroll’s pyramid of corporate social responsibility”. That title indicates it’s not bullshit at all, and yet it is! There is no economy without functioning healthy humans. That’s why there is less of an “economy” nowadays and more of a “holy shit! what have we gotten ourselves into?” moment.
I really wanna be able to go about my life and not feel like I’m in hiding or witness protection or something of the like. It’s so demoralizing that it’s coming down to having fake backups for your fake backups.
Exactly all of this. Don’t feel bad about the shitty adversarial process the greedy fucks put you through. They started it and god damn it they deserve to be buried for it.
No need to feel bad about it.

In 99% of online purchases you have to give them your email either way, so it doesn’t really matter if you additionally sub to their newsletter.
Tha’s why I give gibberish emails whenever I can
myemailprefix+whateverwebsite@emaildomain.com
“Sorry, + are not allowed in email addresses.”
Fine, 🙄 you get one of the garbled addresses from my vpn service, which is even less useful to your scrapers.
website@mypersonaldomain.com is pretty great too with a catch-all mailbox set up
