Slight Correction: Your landlord sold your personal information to a company that sends you ads.
It’s not much different, but this feels just a little bit worse.
I used to take the weekly mailer coupons, the ones printed on newsprint, fold them up, & put them in the no postage necessary envelopes that came with credit card offers & what not. Seal em up & send them along.
I wish there was a way to do something similar with junk emails…
You can opt out of credit card offers. https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/prescreened-credit-insurance-offers
Can one sell their landlords info I wonder?
Sure! But I don’t think they are interested in buying one address at a time, so find a few hundred other assholes in your life and see how it goes.
Can we just stop? I think we’ve gone too far. I say we take like a week or two, where no one’s allowed to sell or buy anything. Just taking a breather, and realizing how exhausting all of this is.
Agreed, a week with no work, no packages, no advertisements, and corporations shutting their mouths for 7 days straight would be glorious. Perhaps more people will understand that the world doesn’t need to be how it currently is.
The place I moved out of did the same. Switched to a “Better payment system” where you can only pay through an online portal and requiring direct payments by tying your bank account to their system (no debit cards or credit cards), or MAIL a check to their offices in another state.
Then the email ads. From opening a credit card to discounts on incense.
This shit is bad.
or MAIL a check to their offices in another state.
Most bill-pay systems that banks run do this for you. eg, I have my HOA in my bill-pay. My bank sends a physical check every quarter since my HOA doesn’t have an electronic method available.
Hey now, lets not exaggerate and hyperbolize. There are types of non-ad data in this message. “Hello!” isn’t an ad. Neither are the links for “Pay Rent” or “Request Maintenance”. By pixel count that has to be at least 3% of the message!
Also, I’m sure there’s a tracking pixel somewhere, probably embedded in the CDNs for those images so that they can know when and where you opened this message, what type of device your on, etc. That’s creepy tracking data not advertising! (yet)
Kids these days, never happy with anything.
then I’ll reduce my tip by 3%! they’re only gonna get 22% tip on my $5000/month for my 1 bed 0 bath I share with 9 other people
Hey shush, you’re gonna get us evicted, only 3 of us are on the lease!
Are all the ads for scuzzy, borderline scam products? That company in the screenshot is pretty much a gateway drug to homeopathy and vaccine denialism.
Scour the internet for newsletter signups and enter your landlords email
Or just use mailbait.info
Can we ask the real questions here? Like, why is that person wheelbarrowing those kids away and where did he dump them?
Why not use a fake email. I personally use duckduckgo an it gets redirected to my mail after they run some checks on the mail. I don’t really care since I only use it for spam
I have plenty of fake email options - but one assumes that when communicating with your landlord, bank, lawyer, employer etc… one should use ones primary address
Yeah I see what you mean. That is fucked up. I’m gonna run off tracks but I so recommend Proton mail, you can make Google accounts forward it to Proton and what’s nice is that proton dosent load attachments unless you want to, there’ll be a empty place but only words will get displayed. Not helping in any way but I do wanna give them a shootout
I have three of my own domains with wildcard forwarding, a 33mail account and a bunch of spare Gmail, yahoo and Hotmail addresses
This hell we built is exhausting
