Ask HN: Please send me your startup spam, I'm making a startup email filter!

TL;DR: I recently starting getting into machine learning and I’m building a bot to filter out startup engagement emails for fun and need training data.

--

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of getting emails from startups/sass when I sign up “checking in” with me.

I did go through a period of replying bluntly with "Please, for the love of god stop emailing me.” or sending them ical links which actually take them to a rick roll, but I’ve decided I’m going to attempt to solve the problem once and for all with ML!

I would love some help though, if you have any emails like this and want to help, post them below or forward them to alexbarlowis [at] gmail.com

Thanks
