The background task that unsubscribed me from my primary feeds
by•
Configured a rule-based engine to archive unread promotional mail. Instead of simply moving the messages, the process parsed the footer links and systematically sent HTTP requests to unsubscribe endpoints. I realized what happened a month later when several critical industry newsletters stopped arriving entirely.

That's why anything that sends something out of my house waits for my OK. Mail, unsubscribes, posts, all of it. Archiving can run on its own. Clicking a link on my behalf can't. A month of silence before you notice is the scary part.
