alt Hacker News>more and more companies are spamming my inbox despite disabling any promotional emails in their settings.
The other trick I've noticed is companies will add new categories and default those on. I'll see a whole page of categories and somehow the last one will be enabled even though I'm sure I'd have turned them all off when I disabled the bulk of them.

Or add junk to existing categories. Amazon are sending me a ton of notifications for their “Haul” shop but I have absolutely zero interest in the cheapest made shit. No way to turn off those notifications without disabling the entire category.

"Terms of use" update emails seem to be a new way to remind you about a service too.
True.
Another worse offender is gitlab. They send promotions hidden as a part of this is obligatory account related into telling blah blah and adding BTW see these extra features for more payments.
