Two weeks ago, I got an email letting me know i was one of the lucky few invited to respond to a survey from the electric company. It had language in it telling me how important it was and that I would be a representative of a large group of customers.
I clicked at the bottom to opt out of receiving future emails about the survey.
However, the next email let me know that while I opted out of the survey, I hadn't opted out of the emails that ask me to reconsider.
So I opted out of that type.
Today, I got a third email telling me that it's not too late to change my mind about opting out of that type (the second one).
How many layers deep do you think this can go? the emails were clearly worded to let me know in each case that they weren't just a resend of things that I'd opted out of, but rather a reconsideration of the last opt out email.
Feels a little bit like putting two mirrors near each other. I think I counted fifty reflections in one of those one time, or maybe it was 15. None of the emails have allowed me to opt out of all future emails other than billing related items, but I don't think spam law requires that in the US because I am a customer of the electric utility (most of the spam laws have exceptions for current customers or subscribers).
