I dislike when companies treat their customers like free, full-time product reviewers. I don't mind using email filters, but average users shouldn't be burdened to set them up, especially when the list of forbidden phrases becomes as long as mine has:
- please review us!
- Feedback Request
- Please rate your visit
- How would you rate the support you received?
- How was your recent order?
- How was your visit?
- How did we do?
- Please tell us what you think about
- you have a new item to review
- you have new items to review
- have a minute?
- Complete a short survey
- We want your feedback
This is just one of many email filters I maintain. I have another for things like privacy policy updates which is almost as long. Then there's promotional email: coupons, limited time offers, and so on. We used to call this kind of thing spam. What happened?
