Body: Log on to our website because we couldn’t possibly JUST FUCKING TELL YOU HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY OR WHATEVER YOU USED THIS MONTH DIRECTLY IN THE E-MAIL; no, we’ve got to play fucking games and make you do extra work and stop you from automatically having a record of your shit without having to deliberately log on to the platform we control and download them individually with 30 seconds worth of clicking between each one.
WTF is even the point of the email if there’s NO USEFUL INFORMATION IN IT?!
It’s annoying, but from a data security point of view it makes sense, personal information like that is more secure behind the login on their website than in an e-mail in plain text.
I actually love email. It’s great that we have a standard and open protocol for sending and receving virtual mail. Without email we would be now probably using some closed-source proprierary and not interoperable solution witch locks you in. I’m glad it didn’t happen.
In the ever changing market BONTO! will now redirect it’s strategy towards a completely different field.
and here’s all the spam regarding said topic that you never took any interest whatsoever, but you still use that one soon to be unsupported florp product.
Do you want to save your email addresses email newsletter status regarding receiving said newsletters to discontinue not receiving email updates notifications? In case you don’t we’ll move the entire planet to the spam folder.
Click “yes” or “ok”.
BONTO! has had a security breach. Your data has been stolen. We’re sorry.
That is why I have:
- a few emails for registering wherever I should be able to do stuff without an account, but for some reason can’t. One of them is a gmail for every place that allows to log in with google.
- one email that I use for account, where I actually may give a shit about the the emails I may recieve from the services I registered/subscribed for.
- one email used exclusively for e-mailing. No accounts, no subscriptions.
