> if 10% of the emails are some new marketing thing it's easy to see and unsubscribe

I built my system because I tired of finding ways to unsubscribe.

Now I can subscribe without abandon and never worry about any of those emails coming into my inbox.

Do you have a writeup somewhere about how this system works?

i like it in theory but there’s something in me that doesn’t want emails just discarded like that… i want to be off the list. a personal failing, i’m sure. :)

The thing you have to ask yourself is: Which do I prefer?

1. Someone puts me on a list and I have to do the work to get off.

2. They work to get me on their list, and I do virtually no work to get off the list.

I went with 2.
