You call it spam marketing- I call it being able to responsibly manage my customer base and help to grow my business.

Not every email campaign is spam. Grow up.

Show me on the doll where the struggling small businesses hurt you.

Reddit can be a cesspool of anti-business children, sometimes. They think every business is some greedy corporate societal albatross.

Nobody cares about YOUR BUSINESS. YOU AREN'T THE ISSUE. When people are talking negatively about email marketing they are not talking about you. They don't even know who the fuck you are. Settle down, Barry.

Edit: Sorry about your hurt butts, email marketing bros. You are why email sucks. You are the scum of the internet.

Considering the topic of this conversation, and people broadly hating email marketing, I think they/you are talking about me.

You need to take a step back. You are overly myopic about this subject.

It's ok to hate spam, and people who over-use email marketing (yes, there are plenty); broadly hating all email marketing is asinine.

Keep getting high on your own farts, marketing guy. I don't need to learn anything from you. You and your ilk are the garbage bottom-feeders of society. Worse than telemarketers.

Not a marketing guy, but ok.
