I used to unironically enjoy skimming my spam folder for fun scams, but nowadays there are no fun scams, it’s all fake amazon gift cards, fake pharmacies, and fake iCloud and Cash App emails.
I miss the days where it felt like a sexy single was interested in me, purely by my email, or I had been singled out by royalty of some sort.
Don't forget the inevitable "3 months ago we were made aware of a breach of the BONTO! servers. What information was taken? Bet you'd like to know wouldn't you. What have we done about this situation? Fuck you, that's what."
BUT . . .But. To make it up to you we’ve also sold your info to a “Privacy Lock” company who will sell you something imaginary for as long as you pay them. That’ll totally fix it.

Don’t forget the 4500 emails suggesting you upgrade to slorp pro-premium-plus-max
You make fun of this but I really had bonto pro-premium-plus-max and it comes with many benefits like not getting these mails anymore
Slorp has detected that you haven't opened our emails for a long time. It's very important to slorp that you keep your contact information updated. Please login Here to verify your slorp account details.
-- the fact slorp gets upset that I have tracking pixels disabled so they can't monitor my email usage is one big reason they can go slorp themselves
Hold up, tracking pixels? What the fuck is that and how do I disable it.
When you load an image from a remote server it leaves an item in their activity logs (when you download the image, the IP address, your email client’s user agent, and a few other details).
If you make the URLs for the images unique, you can now attach an email send to a specific person reading that email, and you can see where and when they read it.
It’s been a security risk for a long long long time and only recently have email clients started dealing with it. Some will download the images remotely or proxy them for you, but I recommend disabling remote images in emails altogether.
I'd argue that email is as useful as regular mail. I get about 2 letters a year written by a person. The rest is bills and marketing.
Email is basically a central notification hub for users, and I'd much prefer that than having to log into each specific app to be notified of things.
Love these anti-features
Linkedin also send you emails even if you repeatedly turn them off
You unsubscribed to “Marketing promotions from recruiters”, this is “Marketing promotions from unknown recruiters within 102 KM of an airport”.
