Email marketing is the only effective way to grow a business online these days

Sorry, but I call horse_shit_ on this. If the only way you can grow your business is to shovel your garbage into my personal inbox, then it's spam, plain and simple.

If I have to give you my e-mail address to order something and you default "sign up for more of my bullshit" to checked, then fuck you.

I see this as "Did I intend to get this email?" Then nothing happens. If I did not intent to receive it then it is spam because I never intentionally subscribe to any marketing emails.

That's accurate and reasonable.
