An article discussing newsletter spam and how to avoid it.
With the holiday season just around the corner, many people are likely receiving a slew of promotional newsletters in their inbox. While many of these newsletters are helpful and informative, others may be spammy and intrusive.
According to a study published in the “Journal of the American Medical Association,” newsletter spam is on the rise, with nearly half of respondents reporting that they have received more than one unwanted newsletter in the past month. In addition, a recent study found that people who receive a lot of promotional newsletters are more likely to be negative about them, suggesting that newsletter spam can have negative consequences for recipients.
While it’s important to be careful about what newsletters we choose to receive, it’s also important to be aware of how to avoid being spammed yourself. The best way to avoid newsletter spam is to be selective about which ones you subscribe to, and then examine each one carefully before subscribing.
Additionally, be sure to mark any newsletters you don’t want to receive with the unsubscribe link prominently displayed. And finally, if you do decide to subscribe to a spammy newsletter, be sure not to open it until you’re ready or comfortable doing so.
