Retention.com Founder on 'Email Laundering'

This service allows Shopify stores to get the visitor email without consent and start spamming them by adding them to the spam list without opt-in

The article is an interview to the CEO of such a privacy-raping service and it looks so proud of this monster

Apparently there are A LOT of stores stealing user data using this service, as he boasts wasting $800k on a vanity domain like if it was peanuts.

From another article it looks like the price of a stolen email is about $0.25 and the store must commit on paying at least $500/month.

Apparently contacting people using stolen credentials is leading to sales, I don't understand. If I received a spam to my personal email from a store that I just visited BUT I didn't filled with my info, I would get ultramad and would never ever do a purchase on that store
