I honestly have never wanted to receive mail from anyone other than a real human being. There is not a single 'account update' or marketing mail, etc.. that I am happy to see, nor has there ever been.

Does anyone actually enjoy those mails? How is it any better than the classic physical letterbox spam that used to be more common?

You don't want a transfer confirmation from your bank? Or a ticket number from your airline? Or an alert that your tax documents are available?

Newsletters?

I do studies and publish them free.

I have a 0.5% spam rate, which is unacceptable according to the guardians of email.

Using Facebook/twitter/YouTube to notify people of updates is at danger of getting blocked/censored.

I send them to my Inoreader account, I don't need those mixed with my important emails.
