If they try to deceive me by making the outside look handwritten or using wording like “FINAL NOTICE” then yeah, straight in the trash without a 2nd look. If it’s obviously an ad from the get go I’ll usually give it a skim at least.
That’s good! But I’d still prefer if I and the other 44% could at least say “please stop producing and sending us trash”.
They should really make mailed advertisements opt-in, but of course the industry won’t do that. And this what makes it cancerous IMO: they never give up trying to inject ads into people’s lives.
OTOH, it seems like ~44% of junk mail gets thrown away without ever being opened: https://zerojunkmail.org/environmental-impact
That’s a bunch of environmental destruction and personal annoyances caused, so the label “cancer” seems fair to me.
