Unfortunately, even well-known companies who should know better are addicted to spam. In an, er…. parallel case I’ve been getting daily emails counting down the last days of my last chance of a special software deal (for the version that’s probably going to be obsolete in a months time)… Then there’s the last chance for a free takeaway delivery that I’ve been reminded about every few days for the last couple of years… Not to mention Amazons delightful habit of sending me adverts for items that I’ve just bought from Amazon…
I remember the good old days when Amazon sold books and CDs, and sent out useful recommendations every week or two, that I actually used to read and, sometimes, buy. Now it’s several items of junk a day that go straight to trash. I’m sure they’re just training people to ignore advertising.
