I agree, except for the part where they immediately contradict themselves:

> If you choose to give me your email address, I will treat it with the utmost respect. I’ll never spam you, or give it to anyone else.

> In 2019 I moved from Mailchimp, whose business model started to make me uncomfortable, to Buttondown. It’s run by one guy who I trust to do the right thing.

Are you arguing that using a service provider to send email is "giving email adresses away"? If so, how do you send your email? (I guess you could host your own mail server on-premises, but is that the bar?)

  • I'm not arguing that, it is literally factually true. He says he won't give it to anyone else, then goes on to list the person he's giving it to.
