This is where you just hit report spam and block all their emails. Maybe if enough people do that they'll get blacklisted.

I do this when there is no obvious unsubscribe link in the email. I'll also hard block if the unsubscribe link requires me to log in first.

I haven't needed to hard block in a while, maybe the message is starting to get through!

... or if the unsubscribe link requires you to type in your email address.

I mark all marketing emails as spam because I didn't ask to be sent them in the first place. Why place the burden on the user. There should be a hit to your sender rep every time you send out emails the user didn't explicitly and intentionally sign up for.

Agree, however I do understand the desire to keep me aware of their product.

If I ran a B2C sass, I wonder what I would consider appropriate. Maybe a quarterly update on new product features?
