And yet you'll give them your address so they can send you a package hopefully containing something you want.

Spam my mailbox all you want. That costs you time and money, not me.

We all like to joke about mailbox spam, but it's certainly a serious issue - and the worst part is there's little to zero incentive for USPS to stop stuffing our mailboxes full of garbage.
As long as the junk mailer companies pay their postage, USPS is more than happy to deliver the junk to you.
I don't have any data, but I'd wager junk mailers are a sizable portion of annual USPS revenue...

Obviously some judicious exceptions are made on occasion, but never without thinking through the consequences.
If you give your cell phone number out to random companies on the Internet, then yes, you can expect to get spammed. What in the world makes that seem like a good idea to so many people?
