Yeah, I'm sometimes surprised that people are so annoyed about cold emails.

Sweet jeez how low of an EQ you would need to possess to be annoyed by this kind of things?

Just delete and move on.

Are you gonna ask for a viagra seller blocklist next?

I don't know how old are you, but before algorithms have mostly solved the spam problem, it was a real problem. If you have something like gmail, you could try recreating this experience by copying your spam folder into your inbox and trying to sort through it manually. I just checked and I get several hundreds spams every day - most of which going directly to spambox and I never see them. But it'd be a serious problem if automatic filters didn't work.

Recruiter spam is for now not nearly as bad as this - but with enough automation, it could be too. So "just delete it" is not a solution that scales. Maybe spam filters would catch it too, but then you'd risk missing authentic offers...
