Choking On Spam Could Lead To Quitting Cold Turkey
from the no-more-email-for-you dept
It never fails. A technology columnist is having writer's block so he or she opens Outlook (they always use Outlook, don't they?), sees all the spam and writes a column mentioning the subject lines of all the spam they get. Some of them are amusing, but the one thing I found interesting in this column is his idea that suddenly life seems a lot more peaceful on days when email stops working. It used to be that email was a convenience, but thanks to spam, it's now a pain to be avoided.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
