I think the way you've set it up is really great, allowing the user to try out/start using the product and just let them when they owe money seems very simple. However, personally I would not use it as I find it easy to unsubscribe via gmail already.

Or just click the unsubscribe button myself? Is forwarding the email really any easier than unsubscribing yourself?
A fine option, which I also endorse. In all seriousness, here’s what I do to combat Insidious Mailing List Spam. It’s kinda simple. 1. Get one email address for friends and family. Never ever post it online. Never use it for any shopping or anything. This is your email address . There is no mailbox anxiety because you get one email a day to this address and it’s from your dad and you love him. 2. Get another one for…

Yeah, Gmail is nice because it shows a little gray unsubscribe link that they pluck out. I use Thunderbird with Protonmail and it doesn't have that... and I really don't want to go back to Gmail :/
I've gotten into the habit of spam labeling these emails, hoping they contribute to the great spam filter in the sky. This works much better than unsubscribing because most of these emails aren't even intended for me but the jerks who keep using my email address to sign up for services and aren't required to verify the email address they provided. One thing I've realized having moved away from Gmail to fastmail, is t…
This is super convenient when you have ten or more "newsletters" you want to unsubscribe from simultaneously.
Good behaving email marketing services are not the problem, I would gladly pay for a service that deals with those shady ones and maybe even helps to battle spambots on a global scale, by reporting spam to appropriate authorities and even using GDPR laws to stop them. Tried using spamcop once, but most reports end up "nulled" and not actually reported.

That gets you blacklisted on email service providers so you risk missing order confirmations etc.
You mean it gets the spammer blacklisted so they risk being unable to contact me. I've actually pinged a couple of services to let them know that spamming me is a security vulnerability, because they loose their ability to contact me.
Let's say you often buy on Amazon (or any other online shop), they send you a newsletter. If you mark it as spam instead of unsubscribing, you could be losing some of their emails you'd want to see (order confirmation, response to a message you sent them, etc).

I get a lot of junk mail haha. It's like any time I purchase something from Walmart or Newegg, they subscribe me to like 5 mailing lists. I wanted something where I could bulk select items in my inbox and have someone else deal with it. I just made a product I wanted :) But yeah, it's not sustainable in the sense of money -- but in my eyes, if my product becomes less necessary over time, then I did my job right
Make it so that you can gift subscriptions. This is the kind of thing to give to a CEO friend as a gift. If they are actually chief of something, then it saves them time which is precious to them. If it is your friend and his one person marketing firm, makes a fun gift.
The 'privacy' section is a bit too vague. Sure, you aren't selling my data, but what are you doing with it? What happens to the emails you receive - are they archived or stored, or do you delete them? How secure are they kept?
These messages could have lots of private data in them, even simple things like usernames might be of value to hackers.

That's genius pricing. Would it work? Like gym memberships, mostly they would probably just be unused, improving profitability.
