I bought one thing from Wayfair and got nine emails about it over the course of four days.
Corporate America and its constant need for fucking validation

Corpos: ... >:(
Never buy anything from AliExpress then. Make one order but from 2 sellers and you get around 20 emails and they are not even helpful emails they are basically just ads.
You can disable those in your account settings. It's pretty simple.
Yeah I’ve literally never gotten an email from AliExpress over an order in my life lol. They don’t even email me confirmations or shipping notices. Which I like cuz then I just get a nice surprise 2-3 weeks later lol.
Make that 10.
69% battery, nice.
First iPhone screenshot on the internet with above 5% charge
nice
i have a feeling you may have a package being delivered. (im just speculating)
Yeah, I did the same. I then proceeded to block them and never purchased anything from them again.
Unsubscribe and if they’re still emailing you, mark them as spam. Then signup for something like SimpleLogin
I think reporting as spam though something like Gmail actually hurts, because Gmail will block the address as a whole if they get enough spam reports.
A consequence of spamming
Wayfair isn't going to get enough spam reports for Google to block them.
I purchased a new domain just for creating aliases with SimpleLogin. I have over 300 email aliases now. If any start spamming I simply delete the alias. Also if I get unrelated emails I know exactly which website leaked or sold my email address.
The survey fatigue is real. Everyone keeps begging for reviews nowadays. Even random things like public parking.
I grow resentment at any business begging for reviews. Hire a consultant and third party to auction your service, I'm not doing it for free anymore. Specially because they don't even read the comments you write or reply. It's just nonsense an intern will put into an end of quarter ppt for some average mediocre manager.
I just have separate accounts for this type of shit. It's not a problem
I do the same thing, but you do realize you do it -because- it’s a problem, right?
Like you shouldn’t need a separate email for “I want to buy this/sign up for this, but I know I’m going to get a fuckton of emails so I need to use this separate email address to protect my main one from junk”. That just shouldn’t be a thing.
I run a catchall account. Every vendor gets [vendor]@myemail
Stops spam, stops data theft, stops phishing stops data brokers. Makes tracking data on me useless.
To be honest, it works so well, I can't imagine not having it.
