specifically, don’t love the mass email pretending to be specific 1-1 email. mostly i dislike the asymmetry of people to do a very little work and give me a bunch of work (having to review the company.) i am much more likely to do the work if i think they were talking to me specifically, especially since that means there is a much greater chance that it is a match. much the same as spam, i guess.

the tracking itself doesn’t bother me too much. i do type in my email to docsend decks which is also tracked. i do not like the fact that the docsend decks disappear though. i suppose that is a different issue.

In the context of an email soliciting a 1-1 interaction, I completely agree.

I'm ok with a marketing email personalizing itself to me ("Hey <name>, from <name> at <company>.")
