NextDoor continues to spam you even after unsubscribing from everything. Some how every month I get a random new email, and some how another new email subscription is enabled in my account.

Also, advertising on their platform brings almost $0 ROI. The only benefit was a decently ranked back link.

forward your spam to their help desk (usually help@<website> or contact@<website>). other humans hate dealing with spammy email about as much as you so often the fastest way to solve it is by looping in an email.

plus, i like to imagine i’m doing a tiny bit of good in the world by redirecting a bit of revenue from a shitty company to the probably less-shitty individual operating the help desk.

Unfortunately there's no such thing as free forwarding. help@ sees an email coming from your email account and it can be marked as spam. Not worth it. Just mark it as spam.
