I’ve had one open for years that is empty. I think they’re hoping I eventually put money in it so they can drain it for the years it sat unused.

We are past the soap and ballot box stages.

I think you’re close to the root of it. The need for a biological legacy is strong no matter any affiliations. Having “non-conforming” children threatens that legacy.

For the groups that inflate this drive, that’s all there is. That’s the only purpose. No “we as a species”.

With enough people doing that, the probability of the email and subsequently the source domain being spam and spam generators goes up. High probability means the emails may end up in the spam folder without hitting your inbox.

There’s a bit of fine tuning email marketing can do to mitigate that, like not sending emails too frequently. But that’s not a passive thing they can do, which is why there are teams devoted to email marketing specifically at some companies.
