A lot of services now don't even offer the opt-out for email marketing, for example, when you sign-up for Twitter you expect notifications, but they also opt-you-in for all their other emails; it's not just Twitter, I see more and more companies removing the opt-out and instead offering the unsubscribe button, thinking it's at least OK to send me junk-mail once, in the hope that I'll be interested. Unfortunately, marking it as spam does very little since their volume is so high.
