Yea I've thought about this but not from the "attack on entities" angle but moreso a consumer-rights / boycott angle. I've had a negative enough experience with a large "maximizing shareholder value" company that I went back through my email history and marked every single one of their comms as spam.

Might be a drop in the bucket, but it doesn't take many votes to make a difference in the spam world.

I'm sure this will evolve soon enough and email delivery might increasingly become pay-to-play with all sort of backroom agreements, if it isn't already.

I bought my dad a sweater for our local MLB team. I made the mistake of using my real email. Ever since I’ve gotten a steady drumbeat of marketing emails and other low value content from them.

Spammers want us to think there’s a significant difference between their newsletter or marketing notes we may have technically signed up for (certainly not willingly) and I don’t feel bad about reporting both of them. If this forces spammers to consider whether recipients will want their messages, good.

It sounds like you absolutely did sign up for the emails, though.

I'm not sure how you could "unwillingly technically sign up" for something like that, especially at the scope of an MLB team which is going to have a team of lawyers, marketing policies, etc. They're not just going to spam people the risk is way too high.
