That's why a site like biztoc.com makes sense — curation + aggregation.

Looks good, but the login-mechanism is pure trash. It does not allow you to make account+password, but forces you to click a "magic link" in order to login.

It was written in big letters, "dont worry we wont spam".

3 minutes later: 2 emails in my inbox. One of them "BizToc is made possible by Mark Cuban & Thomas Marban. If you’re enjoying it, please invite your friends & colleagues."

This is pure spam and I do not like it.

There is a difference between a single onboarding email and actual spam. Magic links — love or hate em, but more and more services use them. Klarna, Vercel, ...
Did I ask for an "onboarding email"? I certainly did not.

And yes, I chose to hate them.
