Yep, same here. I take it that means I'm already subscribed then? Bit naughty vis-à-vis GDPR but I'm not complaining.

No GDPR issues in the way they have done this.
So I actually wrote the GDPR policy where I work. To do that I had to go through the directive. I'm unaware of a way of sending an unsolicited email, all be it one that I'm actually happy to receive, without first gaining consent? It's actually a misconception that "Inferred Consent" is acceptable. For example "Well, they've been on our mailing list for years!" This is not acceptable that's why we all got emails asking us if we were happy to remain on Social Media platforms, forums and mailing lists when the GDPR came into force.
Like I say. I'm happy to receive the newsletter and emails from Steemit et al 🙂

There is something about email discovery I think (not my area) but I would have to talk to legal at where I work to know for sure. The marketing department were looking into it a few weeks back.
But, I will defer to you on this as I can't personally attest to having looked deeply into the laws
:)
It's not a problem, tbh I was merely making an observation. #hugs

Awww, #hugs
Perhaps there should be a Hug Newsletter edition to bring people back for all those who didn't get enough hugs as a kid from their parents ;D
People are far too sensitive these days. LOL

Your "LOL" seems violent.
