For those who work in companies that subscribe users to emails, when users unsubscribe, what portion of them say they "never signed up for this"? (self.asklemmy)

Obviously not looking for hyperaccurate answers, just in general, how many people tend to unsubscribe from promotional emails and how many tick the option "I never signed up for this"?

Nobody, but our company delivers extremely niche health insurance market information exclusively to paid clients. Absolutely none of our clients are getting emails they didn't ask for and if their preferences change we have an extremely robust and granular interest system that we adjust to make sure they're getting everything they want the way they want.

It's a very different business from those assholes that require you to subscribe to their marketing bullshit to use their service though. In my personal life I've opted in to subscribing to about dozen things voluntarily... everything else gets spam marked.
