Due to what must have been some drunken rampage through the internet, my email address has become the recipient of occasional mailing by the Simple shoes company. They make alright products, but I don’t buy enough shoes to care. See the video for what happens when one tries to unsubscribe from their mailings. “Thank you for Subscribing!” indeed.
This is a common affliction with web mailings. Developers and senders spend many hours and dollars on their email campaigns, getting every little sentence and pixel just so. When it comes time for a user to leave, though? Fuck ‘em. Imagine if the (now sentient/magic) Apple Store sensed that you didn’t buy anything, so it turned your walk out the door into a walk through a filthy sewer.
Think of how fun that might be, and how likely you’d be to go back there.
