Sure - but I hate this kind of tag-along email subscription when I'm trying to do something else.

ActBlue is a terrible offender for this - I can't easily donate to a campaign without getting emails from them for a long time even if I make sure to uncheck whatever boxes they show me.

Even worse they clearly give my email to others because I started getting more campaign emails from other unrelated candidates.

There's also some irony in doing this on a site about saving internet privacy.
