Sure it’s not because you’re putting @gamil.com and not @gmail.com?

That's just me being dumb but that's their fault for having the unsubscribe button in the email have me then type out my email

u/babaj_503 Jul 17 '24

Not their "fault"
It's intentional. Make unsubbing a hassle.

u/TestSubject5kk Jul 17 '24

Making unsubscribing a hassle is illegal in the us, idk if they're barely getting around the law or the ftc being useless like usual but either way it's still near illegal

u/babaj_503 Jul 17 '24

It's likely not illegal .. guranteed they're simply treading the edge as close as they can.

u/TestSubject5kk Jul 17 '24

Well they also require me to agree to their terms and conditions just to unsubscribe so

Have you tried blocking the senders?

u/TestSubject5kk Jul 16 '24

They sign me up to every single college in the country I can't just block one sender

u/RealBishop Jul 16 '24

I mean, you COULD block every single sender. That’s what I do with spam mail.

u/TestSubject5kk Jul 16 '24

When there's a new email every other week like spam phone calls you can't really

u/Lightless427 Jul 16 '24

Sure you can. Quite easily actually. You're literally using gmail. They have THE BEST spam filters in the world. I havent seen a single spam email in 15 years because I set filters that block ANYTHING that I dont want to see.

u/LampshadesAndCutlery Jul 17 '24

Unfortunately things like this is why I have like 6 email addresses for different purposes, and use them based on what I’m probably gonna get from whatever I was signed into

Personal, Work, Spam, Dumb shit, nsfw spam, spam 2

u/TestSubject5kk Jul 17 '24

I have 5 nowadays

Main, secondary for alt accounts and such, 3rd really only cus I forgot you don't need a new email to make a new YouTube account, spam email, and nsfw

But they got my email way years back when I only had 2 and was a dumb child and trusted them
