100% of marketing email I've received is spam. I didn't knowingly or willingly sign up for any of it.

There's some delusion in the marketing world that just because someone places an order or creates an account they should be spammed.

Yes, I used to agree with that, but have since given in and accepted that most companies (except mine and a handful of others) will spam all customers who buy a product without asking them first.

It's a little irritating, although I reserve full enmity for the spammers who I've never interacted with ever.
