"we gave your email to a con-man but then we found out he was gonna use it to do a con. Don't let the con-man con you! we hateses the cons! Also we had absolutely no reason to tell you any of this because we already took your email back from the con-man so he can't even con you why am i writing this.
Anyway, uh... Shout out the the con-man though, amirite? hope he does some good cons soon :B"
I'm still leaning on the side of stupidity instead of malice, but they've done some stupid shit. I watch them for their journalistic integrity and documentaries though, and haven't seen that falter.

A great demonstration of why to never give anybody an email address

This is pretty much what I got from it, and I questioned my literacy after that because it made no sense

I’ll take “what is GDPR” for $20MM or 5% of global turnover, Alex.

As a long time C5 and AGNB fan this is really disappointing, "we provided a csv from our email list" - why the fuck would you ever do that?

I don't like to dig up old dirt, but this has me questioning my subscriptions again given previous AGNB/C5 drama

This is pretty standard practice and has been for decades. Its an email list.

It might be relatively common, but it's still decidedly not cool.

Don't you have a separate email for signing up for stuff? Come on man, this is expected at this point.
