I hate junk mail but sadly all those wasted resources are the only thing keeping the post office afloat.
It's almost like the post office is required for a lot of society to function and it should be fully funded by the government...
Kind of feel about that about software updates.
I used to have a personal project site that ran Drupal. I don't know how things are now, but back then, every module could be updated automatically, except for the Drupal Core itself which had to be updated manually.
The one time I went "oh shit, a core update - nah, I can leave it after the weekend", the site got hosed by malware.
(It's a Jekyll site now. Drupal was a bit of overkill for it anyways.)
Come to think of it, that's pretty much email, too.
75% automated notifications or stuff that isn't quite spam but you don't care about
23% spam
2% stuff that you better not miss
