Ask HN: Why am I getting all these GDPR emails?

My inbox is full with emails from various companies and individuals. In one form or another they are all stating this:

"You once gave us your email so we can send you newsletters. If you don't want that anymore, please tell us. Otherwise we assume that we still have the right to send you our newsletters."

How does that make sense? If I once gave consent to get newsletters why would the GDPR invalidate it? And if so, how would this mail and me doing nothing create a new type of consent?
