I don't know about y'all, but my email consists 95% of confirmation emails and password reset requests. Not saying this isn't a major privacy violation, just that it doesn't seem like a good source of data unless the purpose is to make automated emails but with extra steps.

Same here. Almost all my mailbox is purchase orders, bank/credit card transaction messages, and promotional mails. Good luck with that
