gollark: I used to get those, but realized I didn't particularly care and turned them off.
gollark: Well, one time it decided to start sending me emails about mentions in servers because my phone was not connected to Discord or something, and as (technically) a bot developer they bother me about that.
gollark: I check my spam box sometimes and there generally isn't even any actual spam in there, just emails from services which I don't particularly care about (like Discord's random bothering about things).
gollark: I've never actually ended up with spam problems, so maybe I would feel different if I *had*?
gollark: > If you had to pay 5 cents (or equivalent crypto, whichever is preferred) for every email you sent, would you?I would not. There's the obvious issue of mailing lists which you *want* to receive, but more significantly this would make me... not use email at all... since I don't have any work-y reasons to use it and can reach my friends by various other channels.
