90% of my mail lately is spam coupons and credit card offers.



That’s what it’s always been. That’s what pays for you to have the ability to send a letter across the country to some rural area for 30 cents. That’s how it works.


Great for you. Back in the real world, businesses rely heavily on the mail working.


I don't know what the actual share of junk mail is for physical or even e-mail, but let's suppose 90% of most people's e-mail in the entire world is spam, should all e-mail providers only deliver email, be it spam or not, once a day?


That’s nice. Largely irrelevant unless you’re the only person who exists, though.


You can add yourself to the opt-out prescreen list to remove credit card offers for a 5-year period. If you change your mind, you can opt back in at any time.
