This company is a disaster. They are even too stupid to understand the concept of account deletion. "How to delete your Gumroad account: From your Advanced Settings page, scroll to the bottom of the page, then click Delete your Gumroad account? After you've deleted your account, if you try to log back in, Gumroad will make your account "live" once again. Therefore, if you really want to delete your account, click Delete your Gumroad account? and don't log in again. Just... just go." WTF? That's not DELETION, that's SCAM and a GDPR violation. https://help.gumroad.com/article/37-how-to-delete-your-gumro...

Interesting, this exposes them to lawsuits which would be a liability for investors indeed.
How is this stupid ? Facebook does the same thing.
Just because Facebook does it, does not make it right.
If you delete an account, the account must be gone. No login possible anymore. Otherwise it's not deletion.
