I was spammed by you. I first thought you're an idiot, but this is fine ;)

Pinging all viewers of a public document with a message should not be possible.

Thanks for this, I forgive you for this; hope Dropbox fixes this soon enough.

I went a while being followed by spam after a Dropbox email leak a few years ago

Sometimes there will be a little pain associated with creating more awareness to issues like this... you did the right thing.

I think the first self-described "growth hacker" worked for Dropbox way back when. Would not be surprised that the toxic "growth hacking" ethos still permeates through their growth/product teams today.

> I may have just pissed off a lot of people with my experiment :(

That's why we don't test on production

Thanks for the spam!

You did the right thing! This is seriously WTF! And I'm not entirely sure if this isn't even a breach of GDPR in the EU :scream:
