Mailing list software should stop spying on subscribers - Signal v. Noise

Not surprisingly I wholeheartedly agree with this. Nearly all mailing list software defaults to tracking email opens as well as creating unique tracking codes to monitor every link in the email. Mailchimp allows you to disable this, but you have to do it for every email, err, campaign. Buttondown, which I’m using now, has a global setting for you account to opt-out of analytics, which is much better. Set it once and never need to think about it again.

I also agree that most people have no idea that they are being tracked in email, yet it is very pervasive. 🕵️‍♀️
