Worse than that. Unroll would just send those emails to the spam folder utterly ruining email reputation for otherwise legitimate marketing campaigns. Not sure if it's different now, but I had a loooot of cleaning up after that service started becoming "mainstream."

Uh, that sounds awesome. Harming marketing is basically always good.

Uh .. no it isn't. These were campaigns the users explicitly opted into (with a checkbox during signup, unchecked by default) and a very very visible unsubscribe link at the bottom of _each_ email.
