> But there will be ways around it. And suddenly with over half your email data at stake this is what both marketers and publishers will start working on in the coming months. Until emails are wholly plaintext there's always something you can make uniquely identifiable.<p>TLDR We don't give a shit about privacy and are actively working on combating this pro-privacy measure.<p>> A smaller publisher, a local newspaper, a solo freelancer, a small blog; all these will lose data on a significant part of their audience. A likely valuable part of their audience. And it may stifle or slow their growth or opportunities.<p>I seriously doubt that "solo freelancers" and "small blogs" are going to be affected by this. They have real businesses to run, email is just a marketing channel for them and not their source of income.<p>> Where previously you could unsubscribe readers who hadn't opened your newsletter to save money, now you don't know if they're loyal or not. You'll have to find other ways to entice them to let you know they are reading. A larger publisher can afford to keep 20,000 recipients on a list that never open an email. A smaller outfit cannot.<p>This is so delusional it hurts my brain. I have never in my life been unsubscribed by any newsletter, but I've been auto subscribed to hundreds of them by asshole marketers. If thousands of people don't want to read your shitty newsletter - that's a YOU PROBLEM easily fixed by allowing subscribers to unsub in a fast and reliable manner.
