Real title: Fuck You Very Much Google. Why? This message just landed in my inbox:
We are constantly adding new features. In order to tell you more, we've updated your notification preferences. You will now receive Google Wallet special offers, invitations to provide product feedback, and newsletters.
Of course, the choice is yours—you can unsubscribe anytime by simply clicking here.
Um, no. I don't recall ever signing up for Google Wallet (though it is possible). But I am absolutely fucking sure that I did not volunteer to receive spam about your "special offers."
This is exactly how Facebook started to behave when I permanently cancelled my account there. Doubly-irritating: I am probably too wedded to Gmail (which used to be a 100% no compromise product) to leave. (Please do not suggest any "solutions." My time is now simply too valuable to put up with that aggravation.)
