like any business.

They think, if sending one email a day gets you X$, sending 5 must net you 5x$. Of course it doesn't work that way. But emails cost very little to set up and send, so it's an attractive model.

But it's counterproductive because it's too annoying. I hate the schizophrenic nature of one email to the next. The sky is falling, things are looking up, we haven't heard from you, there's an arbitrary deadline at midnight. I feel like I'm being A/B tested for my money, and I resent it. So I unsubscribed completely and just give when I feel like it, and to whom, through ActBlue.
