PSA: with Mailchimp URLs, it's best to remove the `?e=xxx` URL parameter. That way, A) you can't be identified by the sender as the person who shared the email, and B) other people can't flood your inbox by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email.

In this case, the cleaned URL that should have been posted is https://mailchi.mp/ubnt/account-notification

Good call! This just keeps getting better, sharing the URL is such a natural thing to do but of course they need to add the tracking parameters to everything.

In this case it's both tracking and a legitimate feature: being able to place unsubscribe links in the "web version".

I'd argue that this feature is not worth the privacy invasion, but for it to work, you do need a secret in the URL that is always personal.

They could easily have left the unsubscribe in the email, and linked to a UID of the mass mailout text instead for the web view.
