@IntrusionCM haha, this was my first email, I used to sign up to way too many websites when I was a kid. Karma :P

@IAmNotARobot I think effectively 5 hours in total but, spread across 3 days because my eyes and head started to hurt after an hour and a half of doing this.

@Lyubo well 1st Jan was Friday, felt like a good way to spend the long weekend from Thursday night.

I wish I could see a list of what I’m subscribed to on my gmail account and then uncheck everything I didn’t want anymore :(. But that would be too easy of course. I always feel bad for a few seconds when I see my mailbox and the silly environmental impact my thousands of mails sitting there must have. I do move on quite quickly though, not going to be an hypocrite.
Somehow, I do remember a website that did just that, offering to send a very formal email asking the company to delete all your info. I can’t remember the name though. -
@T33th someone suggested unroll.me to do something similar, didn't try it personally

Unroll.me is unavailable for good reason. They harvest all of the emails they remove subscriptions for and sell the analytics data back to third parties.
It violates GDPR, pretty blatantly.

Cleaned up my email and deleted 45k emails and unsubscribed from ~80+ services and added ~100+ filters to sort and auto-delete new emails. Now I have no unread messages.
