Kinda weird, considering the whole idea of double opt-in is to only start spamming you once you actively consent via e-mail action

It's not just marketing emails. I get invoices, quotes, proposals, contracts, dating site messages, all sort of things. None of those designers / sysadmins / owners apparently feel email should be verified before sending that stuff. Why bother with verification emails then? I haven't a clue.

not sending emails earns their companies $0. Sending emails ostensibly earns their companies greater than $0
