I feel the same way about newsletters.

“Hey you bought socks that one time! Want more socks??” -> Unsubscribe.

“Hey it’s your weekly sock news! What’s new in socks!” -> But I unsubscribed! Haha no, you only unsubscribed from the “product releases” list. Not the “weekly news” list or our 10 other fabulous mailing lists!

-> Report all emails from this domain as spam. May god have mercy on your soul, cute socks.

This is exactly something I hate about the current state of things.

Interacting with a company/organization immediately turns into a lifelong "legitimate relationship" that supposedly entitles them to contact you forever and ever.
