Slight Correction: Your landlord sold your personal information to a company that sends you ads.
It’s not much different, but this feels just a little bit worse.
I used to take the weekly mailer coupons, the ones printed on newsprint, fold them up, & put them in the no postage necessary envelopes that came with credit card offers & what not. Seal em up & send them along.
I wish there was a way to do something similar with junk emails…
You can opt out of credit card offers. https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/prescreened-credit-insurance-offers
Is this even legal, or is there a tiny ‘We can sell any info about you and possibly your location as well because you are not rich enough to afford a house lmao’ on the paperwork we are supposed to sign?
Before I got into my current lease I went over the whole thing, and the landlord was actually good enough to amend some things I did not like.
I would never, ever consent to having my data sold, especially by someone taking 20-50% of monthly income. They’re almost taking you for a ride at that point!
Can we just stop? I think we’ve gone too far. I say we take like a week or two, where no one’s allowed to sell or buy anything. Just taking a breather, and realizing how exhausting all of this is.
Hey now, lets not exaggerate and hyperbolize. There are types of non-ad data in this message. “Hello!” isn’t an ad. Neither are the links for “Pay Rent” or “Request Maintenance”. By pixel count that has to be at least 3% of the message!
Also, I’m sure there’s a tracking pixel somewhere, probably embedded in the CDNs for those images so that they can know when and where you opened this message, what type of device your on, etc. That’s creepy tracking data not advertising! (yet)
Kids these days, never happy with anything.
then I’ll reduce my tip by 3%! they’re only gonna get 22% tip on my $5000/month for my 1 bed 0 bath I share with 9 other people
Scour the internet for newsletter signups and enter your landlords email
Or just use mailbait.info
The place I moved out of did the same. Switched to a “Better payment system” where you can only pay through an online portal and requiring direct payments by tying your bank account to their system (no debit cards or credit cards), or MAIL a check to their offices in another state.
Then the email ads. From opening a credit card to discounts on incense.
This shit is bad.
or MAIL a check to their offices in another state.
Most bill-pay systems that banks run do this for you. eg, I have my HOA in my bill-pay. My bank sends a physical check every quarter since my HOA doesn’t have an electronic method available.
