I want to start telling all these companies to leave me the f*** alone. I bought their product & I didn’t complain & I didn’t return it. Isn’t that good enough for them??

    No, the sellers already have the email address, that’s how they ask for reviews. It is simply the way the current internet works: reviews are king, but if the bought thing works as expected most people don’t leave a review, while people with problems are much more likely to leave a bad review. So sending an email asking for reviews is cheap as hell and one of the easiest way to boost their reviews, because if even only every 10th person leaves an “everything is fine”, that boosts their numbers immensely. And after 1 or 2 weeks, chances are that the big draw backs and failures didn’t manifest yet. So also increasing the good to bad review ratio.

      Fair, but I still think an email address they got a response from is of higher value for them to sell than an unmonitored junk email address as well.
