GDPR = a lot of spam in my inbox

Just today alone i got something like 50 GDPR emails from companies telling me they have updated their policies. And its like that since a week. Am i the only one thinking this is crazy and useless?

    I have had loads, many of them are telling me that they will no longer be able to email me unless I respond. Which means I get a load less spam email from next week.

    One good thing from it is quite a few ask you to confirm to keep getting newsletters.

    GDPR isn't to blame here, the companies are. Just stop working with the companies that emailed you.
