What is a red dot sticker?

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/red-dot-stickers/s?k=red+dot+stickers
Putting one on the mailbox means "No flyers please!", at least where I live.

I'd never heard of that before. I wish it were a thing where I live. But at least in my apartment complex, the recycling bin is right next to the mailboxes, so I can conveniently just move the junk mail straight from my mailbox to the bin.

The interesting thing is that there was a sticker inside the mailbox already, but it didn't work, my mailbox was filled with junk mail, and I put them in the bins too.
I guess the others don't mind the flyers and stuff, because the bins are still pretty full, every time I check my mailbox.

Do websites respect the DNT (Do Not Track) header?
Oh wait, it seems to have been deprecated :(
A lot of junk mail landed in my mailbox when I moved to a new place, until I put a red dot sticker on it. Within a week or two, they disappeared.
We should implement this "red dot sticker" feature in browsers (with optional exceptions), and pages, services and whatnot should respect it, or they will be facing fines. Fines that really hurt.
