Just because it isn't automated doesn't mean it's not spam.

It can still be spam, but we care so much of spam largely because of the volume and lack of targetting. If everything I received was carefully manually targetted and researched, you could call it spam all you'd like - I would still be perfeclty fine with receiving it to my busness accounts. Less so to my personal accounts, but even then I'd be far less annoyed.

The article is written by a she btw.
> It’s important to clarify at first: I’ve personally typed and carefully went through every single email I sent. Talk about scalable, huh?
She goes on to suggest a number of things that involve research and effort that puts a natural limit on how many she can send.
If "spammers" were to follow this advice and take the time to research me and my business, follow me on social media, and then type up an individualised e-mail to my business account, spam would not be a huge problem.
In part because I have a lower threshold for what I consider acceptable to send to my business account, and partly because if they invest that much effort in each e-mail, the volume would drop far down.
