Gods I love the modern #Internet.
Suddenly last week I started getting tons of emails from #Substack for some reason.
Thanks to the #Enshittification of the Internet apparently when a newsletter I once read moved to substack, Substack auto-creates an account for you and start pumping out newsletters. Without consent.
I had to log in, create a profile (thank Artemis only a name was required) and then move into account settings and delete the account.
@The_Icarian I am pretty damn sure it is illegal in Europe to do this btw.
Not that it matters as soon as i figured out what was going on, but the whole idea is so typical the modern Internet: A newsletter from a forum about movies I once read moves to Substack, and automatically they dig thru all the mail addresses and start sending out crap.
I hadn't even visited that page since Frozen came out, I think. I had completely forgotten about the forum at all.
