So you mark receipts from purchases, travel confirmations, and newsletters you signed up for at some point as spam? Honestly, if it's from a legit organization, it should be just as easy to unsubscribe from any periodic mailing.

I'm not the person you replied to but I do use the spam button for any unwanted emails I get. If it's a receipt or a shipping notification then no worries, thanks for letting me know but if you think me signing up for your service or buying something from you is me opting in to your email marketing then you're mistaken and to the spam box you'll go.

But it's not spam and you're messing with the filter

yes, and on my work email, this also includes. cold emails from recruiters and sales people.

It's actually far worse on my work email. I attend a lot of events (whether virtual or in-person), I download a fair number of docs some of which are gated, etc. The bottom line is that I get on a lot of email lists. Some I'm actually interested in but I also get a lot from someone who scanned me at a booth when I stopped to ask a question and so forth. The reality is that channels like these are where a B2B company gets a lot of their leads.

yep, my inbox is great as a result too.
