If you click on a link for a newsletter or information, that stuff starts appearing in your inbox in nanoseconds. But if you ask them to delete your email, they say that can take up to ten business days.
Why? Does somebody have to write the email addresses on clay tablets, bake them in a kiln, and then transport them by donkey cart to the office that does the actual task?

One company wanted me to go to a different site to opt out. The other site was click bait city so I just spammed them in my Email. Eventually they dropped me on their own. I had thought they were required to drop me on my request, big surprise there. Now to deal with a persistent overseas caller trying to get me a back brace on Medi-cal. When they call there is a connection chirp that alerts me to hang up before they talk. Damned privateers.

Depending on what and what I use one of three Gmail accounts.
One is for anything I may want to look at but must "sign in" or provide email, I look at the account one a maybe per month to delete all.
The second is used for places like here and is occasionally checked
for potentially important stuff.
I have a third that is an email reflector and a one way forwarder.
The last is my direct email and the usual system email (thunderbird)
collects that.
IT frustrates them... However the dialers are often sequential or got it from a supplier and I resnt the suppliers selling it or not protecting it.
First rule, odd locations or number I don't pick up, if I do pick up and hear the characteristic boop I hang up. Robocall is a friend.
Oh and nearly no one calls me on the cell, I either know them or they message me.

The Biden administration has proposed a regulation requiring unsubscribing to take as many or fewer clicks as subscribing.
