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 you unsub and suddenly get emails from a new address from the same organization, that is absolutely spam.

Me: "Bob, I don't want to hear from your company anymore."

Bob: "Okay, you won't hear from me anymore."

Jeff, Bob's coworker: "Hey, we have some great stuff we'd like to tell you about!"

Me: "Fuck off, Jeff, and that goes for all of your and Bob's coworkers, as well."
