#2Cool idea I suppose, but for $5/month wouldn’t I just not sign up to those mailing lists in the first place?
Or get another email address?
This doesn’t feel very sustainable.

#3I love how minimalist the site is. On the other hand, you should probably at the very least have a terms & conditions and a privacy policy there.

#4Clicking unsubscribe myself vs. forwarding an email and potentially exposing private data —> Is that the argument?

#5What kind of person needs 60 unsubscribes per month? That seems like an insane number of newsletters/marketing lists to be subscribed to.
Even if they did need it, they wouldn't need it for more than 2-3 months.

Or just click the unsubscribe button myself? Is forwarding the email really any easier than unsubscribing yourself?

#7Emails in the US have an unsubscribe link, and failing that web email clients have "report spam" links. Don't understand the need for this service.

The unsubscribe link often has dark patterns to try and defeat your attempt so I can see some getting frustrated and giving up. So maybe for the less technically inclined?

#10I 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.
