  Maybe it’s personal preference, but I absolutely DESPISE companies who put this sort of cutesy, look how fun we are, but also very passive aggressive, bullshit on their communications.

  This goes beyond mildly infuriating for me.

    I’m with you on that one. It feels like old people trying to be hip and modern, it doesn’t feel genuine.

    I have also never understood why a company would want to actively pressure you into letting them send you things you don’t want. Isn’t it just wasted bandwidth to blast emails to people who won’t ever see or want them? So bizarre.

      No, they figure eventually you’ll come around or be a future $ for them later.

    It doesn't help that their copy reads like a 2000s era "TeH pEnGuIn oV dEwM" cringepost

      With the date range on that copyright notice, it well could be from back then

    In this case, they're literally threatening that if you unsubscribe, you will receive harassing texts forever. That goes a large step further than "Jeff the unicorn will be sad."

      I guess its based on “unicorns doesn’t exist”.

      No one will send texts even if you unsubscribe. Only kidding
