I particularly like the form at the bottom for collecting your email address and adding it to a big list.

EDIT: looks like it's gone now. Gonna count that as a win.

Don't be fucking stupid equating these 2 things together
A nicer way to say that is: "I can't decide whether to up vote or down vote you!"

There is real irony that we still use non-unique-to-purpose addressing to sign up for no-need-for-our-identity newsletters. In this case, in particular.

I would personally be much happier sharing that link with others if it did not have the information-collecting form.
That makes perfect sense to me. I am sure the site's motives are fine, and yet the tech we still use is ridiculously aged and unsecure. Even on pro-security sites.
