From Adorama “ Keep shopping this popular item before it's gone for good” {about the Nikon Z8}. If I were interested in it, I wouldn’t be impressed by their implied threat. I would expect the Z8 to remain on the market as long as it remains ‘popular’.

Sometimes they’ll stop for a short time and then start sending again.

I didn’t say I was uninterested in what they are peddling, just that I wasn’t motivated by this one. I ‘unsubscribe’ all the time - and some times I don’t here from the sender again.

A huge one started today. Really good prices. Z9s, but no Z8s yet.

As youve hinted, I read that ad copy as somewhat self contradictory and at odds with market place reallity. Its a mash up of well worn phrases without concern for "the sum of the parts". We can expect more of that as AI algorithms endlessly churn out such drivel.

This thread has so much good information I read it twice. I'm sure it made us all better photographers.

UHH should really have a "Photography Discussion" section.

I can live with E-Mail... one can use email block.
https://clean.email/how-to-block-an-email-address

it is the ^#$%@ Robocalls that have ruined my telephone ... as many as 20 per day. My day is perpetually disturbed by the home land phone chirp.. Yes, my number is registered with the "National Do Not Call Registry" found at : www.donotcall.gov

If one could trace the real number calling... would it be justifiable homicide? Good plot for a story... serial killer targeting robocall centers doing mass killings.

How many of you are plagued. Mine began trying to find an affordable HO-6 Condo insurance.

I just religate it all to JUNK MAIL and don't bother reading most of the ads.

I have a pop-up blocker as well.

All of the advertisers are making an emergency out of everythg..."BUY NOW....LAST CHANCE...!!!" whatever! It's all unmitigated BS!

When I am ready to buy anything, I do the research, try to the best deal, and buy whatever and whenever I like.

Robocalls? I just hung up! Most of them are frauds!

Most of the numbers are spoofed. Calling back will get a 'number not in service' message. Or some irate person who has no idea who you are or why you are calling *them*. I actually once had a call on my landline, from my cellphone - which was in my pocket at the time! The do-not-call list is a farce... I use NoMoRobo, which has cut down on a lot of them.

I guess about as much as your own post about QR codes in the Photography Forum helped make me a better photographer!

I may just change my number and never give out my new number except to friends...
