For example, I opt out of all emails from a website. A year later they make a new newsletter and auto subscribe all to it.

I login, hit unsubscribe, then report as spam in my email client.

I figure auto adding me is more/less spamming me. Do y'all agree?

I'll mark them as spam even if I technically signed up for whatever bullshit they're sending because I didn't notice the box to uncheck when making an account. It's a shitty tactic and they've all ruined email with it.

Yeah, this is basically my line. If I intentionally subscribed I will be sure to unsubscribe properly once (maybe twice). But if it was unsolicited then it will be marked as spam.

Yup. I’ll sign up just to get the initial discount & still mark it all as spam.
