I always assumed that “unsubscribing” to junk mail, added your name to the dark web as a “real person” and increased your junk mail list as your information was sold to other spammers.
On the topic of unsubscribing, why can some websites unsubscribe you immediately, and others say that they will need 5 - 7 days? Is this part of the evaluation process you reference? Asking for a friend.
Some websites build a pipeline of emails and schedule their email blasts ahead of time. When you unsubscribe, you're unsubscribing from future emails but the ones already in the pipeline won't be affected. This is why they state the delay.
I had suspected something like this was going on, but it is very inconsistent, in my opinion. Big firms and little firms alike seem to have no consistency in how long it takes to unsubscribe. I would imagine that larger firms would have a more sophisticated email platform that would be able to unsubscribe quickly. Perhaps they do, but that feature is not activated. Thanks for the 'splanation.
What an "Amazing" post today, Steve. I laughed and ordered the brussels spouts!
Thanks, Jim!
Loved it.
Thank you for your service.
Yes indeed. I loved it all.
Jim and I thought of a funny topic like all the ways to call dying, like our old favorite of yours, ”Up and died.”
I just looked up die in Merrium-Webster. Hysterical! Plenty of food for humor. See you soon!👏🏼
Thanks, Steve! It's good to laugh, especially during these times.
True dat!
Hello Andre,

Hi Steve,
Butt dialing can be used as a random password generator
Nicely done!
