Why do campaigns continue to do it, if it's such a disincentive?

Why does spam still exist, even though it's annoying?

These people know you can make firstnamelastnameSPAM@gmail for free, right? And then just never check it.

I'm curious if you could get away with even less effort - if you own myemail@gmail.com you also own myemail+actblue@gmail.com, then you can just forward all mail sent to that address into spam.

Here's a "real reason". I get this e-mail. No call to action about the supreme court (maybe "call senators"?). Kelly's Lead _hasn't_ evaporated. Just "give us money k thx!"pic.twitter.com/ceqPCtsNJf

PACs have a direct link to potentially motivated activists, and instead the _only_ thing they can think of is asking for money! I still give the money but I have little faith in the party aparatus doing anything but fundraising (see McGrath fundraising post RBG)

Because it IS fucking annoying, mostly because it shows a serious lack of respect. Giving a donation to a candidate, no matter how worthy, gets you put on a global “sucker” list that will cause every scam-PAC and hopeless candidate to send you begs for money.

People are mining public filings and reselling that information. It's illegal and unethical, but that's what happens. Don't assume that whatever campaign you gave to sold you out.

“Nyehhhhh email rules are harrrrrd”

There are like 500 different campaigns from all 50 states with 1500 different sent-from addresses + numbers rendering my emails + Signal unusable because in 2017 I donated $50 via ActBlue. We shouldn't be punished for donating.
