I could opt out but i’m building a collection at this point
lol, I’ve done this, multiple times. the only thing that has changed was that my name was replaced by “Residential Consumer” for the subsequent spam.
This is why marketing is a bullshit job.
As are modern sales.
There should be a different name for people at a store that answer questions about a product on request.
No one should be trying to convince anyone to buy anything as a job. What the hell is that? If you make a cool product/service/thing for a reasonable price, people will come to you. If you don’t, stop trying to pressure people into consuming it when they otherwise wouldn’t.
There’s different types of marketing.
One type is awareness marketing, which is exactly the type that’s the furthest from “forcing shit down your throat”.
Then later, when you’re searching for something and see their name, your monkey brain will prefer the “familiar” option.
And tbh I do have to disagree with “people will come to you”, it’s really hard to grow if people don’t know you exist.

I’m against the concept of unnecessary growth/metastasis. I prefer homeostasis/equilibrium.
Unless you’re bringing something profoundly superior to what exists to the table that will have people who hear rumors of it coming to you, there’s no need for a 76th brand of chicken sandwich.
We’re growing/metastasizing our species and a lot of other species into oblivion. It’s a shame our species is belligerently unwilling to consider a different strategy.
Well in more technologically advanced sales, there are reps who understand the technology deeply and try to explain it to execs and other engineering folk who might be interested. This is a role I find pretty valuable, since some engineers don’t have good communication skills.
They aren’t even getting their target market right, sending me “move-in” offers when I haven’t moved.
“Return to sender”
I’m a current customer and still get shit like the frequently, usually they want me to add cable TV and/or phone to my internet-only package. It’s really obnoxious. You’d think after me ignoring it for 8 years they would give up but nope, still at least once a month one pops up in my mailbox.
Just sleep well at night knowing that part of the reason your cable/phone/internet bills are so high is because your rates are subsidizing these morons to mail you full color glossy double sided bullshit advertising services at you that you already have.
Spectrum still sends that much spam even if you are a customer already.
No, i dont want your tv bundle i literally havent had any desire to watch cable tv for over a decade please stop asking!
Damn blurring out all the numbers must be more infuriating right?
Yes thank you for noticing my effort
I’ve never even had them, just went on their website and put in my address to see what’s available, and I get tons of these too. Frontier is cheaper and waaaaaay faster, so fuck Spectrum.
So if I really hate someone, I can just put their address into the Charter Spectrum website?
Generally you can sign up this person for many types of annoying mail by doing essentially just that
I received these about once a week when I was a Spectrum customer. Since I dumped them when ATT fiber became available, I now receive them three times a week.
Do any of these have return labels?
Ask if you can stack the offers. That could be an incredible offer.
My ex is ATT fiber which, despite having zero love for ATT, was pretty great.
They are trying to get me back…but they don’t offer fiber (or any service!) at my new address.
I have zero love for ATT but love my fiber plan. I’d like to switch, since they don’t let me change the DNS server, but the plan I had before was awful and my internet dropped all the time.
Are you sure about that? I’m using the official AT&T fiber modem (Nokia white oval) and a pi.hole for DNS. I do remember needing to change a number of settings to get it to work though.
I’ll take another look at it. I had a pihole setup and tried to switch it over when I moved to ATT but couldn’t find any DNS options. After some quick Googling the unanimous answer seemed to be that ATT doesn’t let you. But I’ll look into it again, I would love to get my pihole working again.
I am using the pi hole for DHCP, maybe you just have to turn off the DHCP server on the att modem.
Words can’t describe the inner joy I felt making that call to cancel after I had Google Fiber installed. “No sir, there is no package or temporary deal you can offer me that’s going to change the outcome of this conversation.”
wait til you realize the largest ad-tech company in the world is now your ISP tho
Look at the amounts of wasted paper! 😡
Free toilet paper
