Why can't I just browse them? I honestly don't want to deal with your spam in my inbox every day.

I think the business model is based on email subscribers. OP has mentioned elsewhere[1] here that he modeled the site and offering very closely based on Scott's Cheap Flights .com which was in the Cheap Flights domain.

I will, but mentioning mailinator usually leads to its domains getting blacklisted :)

Heh. True. I'm with you though - I want to browse on my schedule, not be pushed yet more email that I have to sift through.
