Annoying Subscription Infographics

This Comic Outlines the Hassle of Unsubscribing to Newsletters

— December 27, 2012 — Pop Culture
Unsubscribing to newsletters can be a frustrating task, and this infographic breaks down these unwanted emotions.

First you get a random newsletter (and wonder when you even signed up for it), not to mention the annoyance of getting this same newsletter sent to all your different email addresses at the same time. You scroll through the newsletter scouring it for that allusive unsubscribe button that's usually hidden near the bottom. Once you find the button, the annoyance has only begun.

This infographic on unsubscribing to newsletters comes from Bonkers World, which specializes in cheeky social commentaries. More of a cartoon you'd likely find in a daily newspaper than an infographic, it quickly illustrates this process which can sometimes feel like you're taking one step forward and two steps back. There must be an easier way!
