First submission to HN so could be the wrong kind of post, but I find it interesting that a platform that has had presumably millions in investments, boosts 30 million users (based on one of the founder's personal websites), and has dedicated engineers and staff can't be bothered to do the basics of ensuring marketing emails are sent out safely.

There's other posts about it on X, but they don't blur out emails so I won't share.

Well this is the platform that got kicked off Discord for refusing to delete user accounts in a timely manner, then training an AI model on user inputs...

Then tried to weaponize their userbase to mass email Discord over being kicked off.
