> ... some people treat mark as spam as their delete button, certainly more than 0.1% of people. Don't ask me why.

If a business sends mail that I've not previously indicated I'm ok with them sending (newsletters out of the blue, unasked for "summary of stuff you've missed" emails, etc), then it's spam and will be treated as such.

Delete without opening shouldn't be treated as negative. I generally keep the stuff on your list, but I almost never open the it's-your-turn e-mails--the title contains everything I need to know. And, likewise, Meetup notifications--I dump most of them unread as the title is enough to tell me I'm not interested in that event.

Because everyone and their mother sends spam. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why. No, I don't want emails about the new product you're releasing. No I don't want your newsletter.

I have to actively fight to keep my inbox empty, and free of crap. And while I'm ranting, notifications I actually want on my phone are co-opted by advertisements, which Apple and Google should actively prevent, but they won't because they use push notifications to commingle advertising to you with important, sometimes time-sensitive notifications.

Everyone thinks they have something worth sharing. Over three nines of the time, people don't. I will happily be apart of the 0.1% who sends your crap straight to the spam filter for Gmail to train.

It's spam. It's almost all spam. Even the transactional stuff for logging in, I don't want. Just use an email, password, and TOTP. Stop sending me emails.

Stop it.
