The evil 'Unsubscribe' button

I've had it with these emails that offer an unsubscribe button that doesn’t do jack! Just getting more spam. How hard is it to stop sending junk after users unsubscribe???? #Frustrated

The audacity of these spammers! Claiming to give us control with an 'unsubscribe' button, but only serving more junk! Just block them or report spam. Teach them a lesson!

Just a heads up, this might actually be an indicator of a 'graymail' problem. Graymail isn’t technically spam since you opted in at some point, but it’s still annoying! Make use of filters or dedicated apps, that sort out such emails. Stay safe out there!

As mentioned by others, sometimes that unsubscribe button isn't what you think. It can be a tool used by spammers to confirm your email is active, which leads to even more spam. Your best bet is to just mark them as spam. Your email service will learn and start filtering them out automatically.

I never trust those buttons. My grandson taught me to just mark em as spam and delete. Seems to work.

Literally, they're just laughing at us behind their computers. Unsubscribe? More like 'Yes please, give me more of your junk!' 😂

Totally get you, man. These companies exploit the whole email system. But here's the deal, the 'unsubscribe' button sometimes is set up by ill-intentioned people to confirm your email is legit. Pulls in more spam. Better block these senders manually.

Yeah, it's a damn irritating issue. Lot of these are probably phishing companies, I mean who's got the brass to keep spamming after you've clicked unsubscribe?? Pro tip though, report them as spam, it helps.
