Can you post something a little more specific to your point, like the contents of the emails in question or the FAQ page where it backs up your point?

And thanks, I feel special.

I actually don't have the emails I question, because the article is not about me or a client. They are, from what I've been told, a fairly scary sounding "one strike" template, nothing special.

The FAQ pages in question are linked prominently in the article. They have an entire section on this topic.

Wait, you've never seen these emails?

And I checked the FAQ and didn't see anything about a 1% unsub rate resulting in account suspension or anything. Maybe I missed it? Care to point it out?

The people in the article are not clients of mine. They are clients of my girlfriend — why is this a factor? I don't have access to their emails.

As for the 1% details... you missed them:

They are all over the MailChimp FAQs.

You seem kind of hostile towards me, and I'm honestly not sure why.
