Is it wrong to report email as spam when you previously opted out and they either add a new subscription/newsletter, etc.? (self.asklemmy)

For example, I opt out of all emails from a website. A year later they make a new newsletter and auto subscribe all to it.

I login, hit unsubscribe, then report as spam in my email client.

I figure auto adding me is more/less spamming me. Do y'all agree?

If it’s once a year then I just delete it without though.

If it’s so often that I’m annoyed I’ll mark as spam. I don’t really think much about it. Hell I’ll mark it as spam if I’m in a bad mood.

What really annoys me is e-mails that don’t do a single thing for me. No discounts, no product announcements, just poor marketing. Get out of my inbox.
