This Undersized Captcha Window (sh.itjust.works)

Annoying marketing practices
I recieved this email today. I don’t use twitch, only made an account once for some specific purpose. I don’t know these people and I’m a 100% certain they don’t know me. This is just toxic marketing to lure me back in.

I expected ridiculous propaganda from Adobe, but they give absolutely no reasons why Photoshop is better than Gimp and list a bunch of things that Gimp can do too....
