Email is good.

Thoughts:

• The ones I’m unsubscribing from that I probably never subscribed to always feels weird, like I’m confirming my email for a spammer.
• Usually you have to click a button to confirm, but not always. I didn’t see any of those tricky ones this week where the button actually says “Stay Subscribed” or “Resubscribe”, but that’s a pissy little dark pattern that should be illegal.
• This isn’t a complete list of the week; I’m sure I forgot to screenshot some. I do this because I have muscle memory for doing it and tend to think it’s worth doing. But wow it’s a lot! If I didn’t do this every week, it’s easy to imagine how out of control email can get.
• Sometimes I’m unsubscribing because if it’s newsletter-like at all, I’d way rather get it over RSS.
