Disagree. The time involved adds up. I agree it’s good karma to invest in this stuff, but it’s also basic courtesy to ask before obligating someone.

An email is not an obligation. You don't write back to every piece of junk mail you get do you?

Of course not, but I don't get junk mail from friends/colleagues/former colleagues. Do you just ignore people you know?

I work in tech specifically entertainment tech.And I get tons of junk mail from past colleagues and acquaintances in the industry. Ooops, it must have gone to spam Is practically my mantra

it kind of is an obligation if you know the person and dont want to outright ignore them. I mean you can but it's rude and puts you in a position.
