"click here to unsubscribe" is a psyop

Email shows up again next week. It’s like a suggestion box that no one reads
Simple Login solves this. Every person/entity gets a different email address but they arrive at the same place and I can reply from them. I can turn them off or delete.
I literally get an email everyday from a water filter company claiming that today's offer is about to permanently and forever be gone, but I literally get that email everyday. Even if its the best filter in the world, I will never buy something from this company.
I understand that. Spam is spam
Perhaps another example of a humiliation ritual too
Absolutely "oh, you want me to stop jamming up your inbox...just do this extra stuff and we'll ask you for some more data and will totally not bother you anymore and we totally promise not to sell your email address that we now are sure is actively maintained and observed to other folks"
For sure. But I mean, the ritual of humiliation via friction is intended to wear you/us down. An example I just saw was a screenshot of twitterx suspending someone's account but they can remove the offending post. That friction isn't necessary to achieve their goals. It only degrades the person. I wonder how much of life is these ritualistic incremental suicides...
