The modern corporate obsession with data is beyond incorrect, it's obscene.

If I order a pizza, there's no universe where the social contract should include a follow-up email about a survey. IT'S A PIZZA. And moreover, I PAID FOR IT WITH MONEY. You are not entitled to 5 minutes of my time to fill out your fucking survey.

Any marketer or data scientist who tells you that every pizza that gets ordered should also generate a survey request email IS FULL OF SHIT and is ABUSING YOUR CUSTOMERS.

@maxleibman I delete all those surveys. If the information is valuable to them they can pay for it.

One time I was told I would be paid for a survey, by MailChimp. I spent ten minutes completing a questionnaire, only to be told something like "Thank you, but your response isn't needed." I bet the f-ing liars kept the data all the same.

@venitamathias @blackmastodon This is just horrible. I don’t understand people like that. Well, I understand how they think, but it makes me wonder how they can have so little self-awareness.
