Incogni has great advertising claims, but it feels pretty expensive as an ongoing subscription. Have you used it or do you currently use it? Please tell me about it.

I think it's similar to the idea of clicking on the unsubscribe links on spam email. It lets the spammer know it's a real, active address, so, often, it just ends up giving you more spam since they share that info. Only unsubscribe from things you actually subscribed to in the first place.
