Is there no way to protest the email spam filter rules of Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook?

Cried every marketer in history when individuals, groups, or governments implemented rules to make it hard to reach people.

> They're allowing the 1% lowest common denominator to determine what the other 99% are allowed to see.

Conversely, think of it from the perspective that those 1% of users are fed up with receiving marketing emails, and the result is that they are taking the measure they feel is effective to reduce the amount of spam they receive.

Look in the mirror. If you are attacking the intelligence of your users because they are doing the best they can with the limited tools that advertising driven companies use to manage their email, it may be worth taking some time to reflect on why that is. You want to send marketing email; you opted to use a cheaper service that has documented considerations for reputation impact. You know the correct solution, you just think you are entitled to a lower cost service to get your product in front of other people. You aren't, and it isn't the users who are the problem, it's the ecosystem.

This makes no sense. I'm the problem for responding to people who signed up for something?

>I am telling you that users hitting report spam on emails (yours, or others) that they don't want to see are not abusing the button. They are sending a signal that they don't want to see (or receive) those emails anymore. They are using the user interface of their client to control their user experience because they have decided that your workflow (or others workflows) to stop receiving the messages is more annoying than hitting that button. It's not a user problem, it's an ecosystem problem

The email providers need to account for that and not send emails to spam because less than half of 1% of users mark them as spam. Email providers are already taking steps (unsubscribe header) to make things easier. And as I saId, I've done everything in my power to do so as well.

>you are still attacking or insulting not only your users, but also all of the people who may have or will receive unsolicited email address from a service adjacent (in a shared cloud service sense) to yours.

I don't see how.

This doesn't appear to be useful to continue if you're insisting there are no differences between types of emails.
