This read in my mind as "it's not spam if I do it" every single one of recruiters and start ups seeking funds could appear in my inbox, unwanted, and be filed by me as spam.

If I want these mails, I subscribe. This article is about cold mails. I don't think it's cold mail, if I subscribe is it?

The advice is good, but I'm not sensing a strong rebuttal here.



I've gotten some interesting jobs/contracts via recruiters that send cold outreach so I've definitely seen the beneficial aspect of it. Everyone is trying to make a buck; it's hardly any work to delete an email or unsubscribe.
