Where's the profit in targeting advertising to people who by their actions make quite clear they have no positive interest in it?Given how cheap it is to spam millions of e-mail addresses, even if a miniscule proportion of the recipients bite the bait, they probably get enough return on their investment to warrant it. IMHO.
Given how cheap it is to spam millions of e-mail addresses, even if a miniscule proportion of the recipients bite the bait, they probably get enough return on their investment to warrant it. IMHO. It's easy to spam millions of people who don't go through any effort to avoid being spammed. Going after those who try to avoid spam is more difficult. Why make the extra effort to spam such people, when by their actions they've shown that they're not the target audience?
There are only two explanations I can figure:
- The spam business is a bubble, and the only people getting any value from it are those who sell spam-related tools or services. Eventually the market for such tools and services will try up and the bubble will burst on its own.
- The spam business is supported by one or more people or group who want to increase government restriction of the Internet.
Would you care to offer another explanation?
