    At the risk of downvote oblivion, I’m gonna say that’s not asshole design. They’re offering a reward system, and having advertising as an inseparable part of that doesn’t seem unethical.

    Don’t get me wrong, advertising as a general industry is deplorable. But this seems at least somewhat reasonable (especially considering how easy it is to filter emails to junk).

      Based on my experience when I was still buying Domino’s, these emails that you can’t opt out of aren’t even ads. “Status of your account and points total” is what it says on the tin. It’s not promotional offers or spam, it’s information pertinent to your account meaning it’s rare.

      This might have changed in the years since I stopped using Domino’s so YMMV.
