No. It is also ok to vent. If it was one or two requests fine and easy to ignore but ut seems every interaction requests this..

If I could review you I would give a very negative one. So crass and hostle for no reason

I’m not hostile. It was perhaps crass.

I receive like 40 emails a day minimum the ones that don’t go to spam, I’m sure there are more. You know what I do? I delete them without reading and then I move on. Occasionally I open everything and unsubscribe from what I can.

It sounds like there’s too many things in your life pressuring you and this is an easy place to complain

Its an unfortunate reality of the world we live in, where purchases online are driven by volume of reviews.

I agree, OP. And why does even the smallest transaction mean I have to receive emails from the company 3x a week until I unsubscribe from them? Even if I clicked “no I don’t want your emails”?? I bought a household object from you. I didn’t ask to become a “member of your [company] family” or start a relationship with you.

It’s gotten so bad that for me it often creates enough friction in the buying process that I don’t buy the thing. Like, do I want this shirt? Hmm, it costs x dollars, will take x days to get here, and I’ll have to manage their emails afterwards. Never mind.

I thought it was wrong for a business to ask a customer/client to write ✍🏽 a company review……

I hate that too. I hit no even if it promises eternal youth.

Each one isn’t stressful but the continuous emails and texts and phone calls that we don’t want does add to kind of an “acid rain” of nuisance that causes irritation. There are a lot of these in modern life and together, it DOES add up to stress.

So it's not tipping and reviews that are stressing you out, it's emails, texts and phone calls. Got it.

Yep. The constant stream of information and distraction and nagging. The extra management of inboxes and texts. The fact that it makes it harder to find the emails that matter. Just stay out of my inbox and my texts. It’s enough to mange without all the marketing crap.

+1. I'm also OBESSIVELY careful about unchecking boxes that try to automatically subscribe me to things. They don't care - they spam me anyway. It should be illegal with a steep punishment.
