It’s awful and annoying — not to mention often illegal depending on where you are — but it does happen and not just with Samsung. Recommend not spending more energy on this and just filter with emails

Off topic, but it’s so cool how we can view your Mastodon post from Lemmy, and reply to it.

I didn’t even notice that this was a Mastodon post until it was pointed out

Yup, this is what they do. Even if it does work, it doesn’t matter, because they’ll just create a new subscription category and opt you back in. It’s illegal, but laws without enforcement are just ink and paper.
