Do affiliate programs sell your email...? - GoFuckYourself.com

Weird, but somehow, whenever I sign up for an affiliate program I get soon bombarded by spam emails on the address I used to sign up with. Those shitty fucking spam motherfucking emails add up to quite a fucking number goddammit...

well... if you use the technique of:

signup for ars, use
[email protected]

signup for eraser cash, use
[email protected]

signup for adultcheck, use
[email protected]

etc etc

then you'll know who is doing the spamming or selling your email address, and you can contact them and ask what the fuck they think they're playing at.

no big surprises here but clickcash/webpower sold my one of my email addresses to the point where it became unusable.

Looks like everybody is selling f*cking e-mail adresses
TGP's freehosts sponsors all of em do it.

If I get spammed I give em 1 warning
Try using some e-mail addresses u never use and u'll soon find out who sells your information.

Damn it i hate getting 20 daily junk mails to my mailbox !! The problem is that EVERY fucking place (well 99.9%) that you submitt your mail to sell your e-mail. Fuck that !! I dont know how to fight it.
I wonder how big people manage it. Like TheHun. Everybody and their neighbours know his e-mail, yet Hun still uses it and I always get a reply from him, meaning that he reads his mail.

I also noticed that the spam emails advertise the sites of the program I was signuing up for, no matter how big or small the program is.

What's the fucking point of promoting to me the sites that I am promoting myself??????
