I recieved this email today. I don’t use twitch, only made an account once for some specific purpose. I don’t know these people and I’m a 100% certain they don’t know me. This is just toxic marketing to lure me back in.

Those aren’t even real people. Those “usernames” are the names of custom emojis you can use in Twitch chat. Still weird in context, but I can see how it would be even more creepy if you didn’t know that.
Those aren’t emojis, these are emojis (-; :p o-: 0==8 <3. In my time, we still had respect for our elders.
Now get off my lawn!!!
Emoticons*
Autocorrect wages its battle to destroy the evil forces of the Emoticons.
That fact makes it so much weirder
Everyone deals with spam and junk mail. If we all posted all of them, this community would suck more.
I don’t see how this fits mildly infuriating. It’s a normalized everyday marketing annoyance.
What differentiates an annoyance from something that is mildly infuriating? Seems like they’re pretty much the same to me.
Anyways, if this community doesn’t get any content, than i guess “mildly infuriating” means “nothingness”. We define the meaning of the concept by what we post here and what we upvote here.
Peter: I wouldn’t say I’ve been “missing” it, Bob. 😉
How do you not know CorgiDerp???
OP created an account > didn’t signed out on emails > gets email > 😠😠😠😠
No, but seriously, this is not toxic marketing, the “users” are emotes, something very clever but that is lost on you and that’s fine; but to call it toxic… I don’t know Rick.
- I will keep the comment as is, I was informed this is illegal in some regions. Marketing is… marketing & as someone that has worked for agencies I am knowledgeable enough to admit that some tactics are indeed invasive an/or dubious. No offense to anyone was intended.
Opt-in by default is illegal, so OP has every right to be annoyed.
Didn’t know that. Can you tell me who is supposed to enforce this and where is the law from?
When you accept the ToS I always understood that I was signing in for emails, just like (in my experience) 100% of other services/sites like Spotify, Proton, Bandcamp, eBay, Facebook, X, GitHub… well I’m not gonna list every single one but you get me.
Still, thank you for educating me.
It’s EU’s GDPR.
Anything like a newsletter or marketing must be opt-in. And it cannot be bundled with other consent, that is they can’t refuse to provide you a service if opt-in isn’t absolutely necessary.
To be honest, not sure if any other countries have such laws.
I Twitch when the wind tickles deez nuts
If you dont meed it any more, just have your account deleted
I believe that you can only deactivate through the menu but need a direct link to the deletion page
“Well, I wouldn’t say I was ‘missing it’, Bob.”
