Agreed

Of course a newsletter signup is not a sale. Not even 1%. But it’s still a signal.

And selling something you don’t have is borderline fraud in my book. Even if you backtrack and refund, it was still a lie and a waste of the customer’s time.

Also if one is selling something one should be aware that now you will have to support it for the next 10 years, even if it turns out to be an unprofitable business.
