Oh please, are we at the point now where we're thinking that a selfless act (somebody giving you your lost wallet) is analogous to someone trying to make money by contacting you?
People are sick of it not just because it's "irrelevant*, but we're tired of being sold to every waking moment.
I am still sad at how this spammy article about spam has so many upvotes on HN.
Some businesses try to make money by trying to make their clients money.
Yeah, nice use of the word try. You give me money, I try to help you make money.
That's not quite what I meant. I mean they only get paid if you make money.
Eh, I was with you until the wallet analogy. Returning somebody’s wallet is just a pure favor. The second email isn’t a favor really, it is still a pitch. It is a better pitch. But it is still a pitch.
You’re right. I didn’t think that difference through enough. Bad analogy on my part
James, stop being a spammer. You are abusing the system, stop lying to yourself (and to us) to feel better.
