I will admit a lot of marketing escapes me, and I should probably just spamfilter the emails like everyone else my age. But why on earth would you pay someone (your own employee or a third party) to email me about a thing that I have already purchased or cannot purchase?

I am fully on board to spend the money! You provide a useful service (a library in my pocket will always be magical to my Oregon Trail-ass self that remembered having to carry real books around). Why on earth would you send me a whole-ass email when you know I preordered it?

@olandgren The opportunity cost of filtering out the people who have preordered it from their system (different databases, owners, processing, etc), is higher than the cost of sending it to you.

@Celestalon Yeah I guess, still infuriating every time.

@olandgren I certainly hope that “infuriating” is an exaggeration, in the grand scheme of things. 😉
