Another industry that needs to be disrupted are the ridiculous prices for email list management. If you have a list of 50,000 or more, prepare to pay a mortgage for these companies simply to host your list, and that's before you send a damn email. The "charge by subscriber count" needs to be wiped off the face of the planet.

Not only that but I'm actually building an email marketing system for the reason you listed and more:<br />
1. Clueless support, refusing to divulge information about issues you have with an email list. <br />
"We cant approve it", <br />
Why? <br />
"Its our policy" <br />
What is your policy, what is the problem? <br />
"We cant share such information" <br />
<br />
Also taking days to respond to simple questions and refusing to give clear answers to things they should absolutely know. <br />
<br />
There is an error when trying to send emails to a particular email address? Which one?, <br />
"We cant tell you". <br />
Can you just remove it then or add it to the unsubscrived list?. <br />
"No, we are not an email list clearing service, you should clear the list yourself"<br />
<br />
2. Autostopping campaigns for no clear reason.<br />
<br />
Error while running the campaign, hmm what is the error? <br />
"Error 1252: Cant work bro sorry, get fckt, lol" <br />
Hello support, what is this error Im getting? <br />
"Oh yea thats common, you have too many emails we've deemed to be untrustworthy, so we cant run your campaign. We have a list, its very extensive." <br />
Can you ignore them, cut them from my list, or can I just send to them anyway? <br />
"Nope, as the error suggests, go get fckt bro, lol, is there anything else I can help you with today?"<br />
<br />
3. Insisting on opt in, opt out, integrations, JS code insertions, events and whatever else.<br />
<br />
Hey aaah, I'm actually using my own SMTP server, you know the one I gave you the credentials for. Sooo any issues, spam folder problems, bans, none delivered emails etc. is on me, ok?<br />
"On you? Nah nah nah, you need to add these checkboxes here, these scripts here, these forms here, these pages here, sign this agreement here add these DKIM records there... yea I know you dont need those records FU."<br />
Ok so if I do all that, double opt in track users through your script and so on, my campaigm will work always, right?<br />
"We've detected too many bounced emails, a grand total of 2, from the 60k email list you gave us, so we will be stopping your campaign until further notice, which will never come, cause you already paid your subscription this month suckaaaah"<br />
<br />

Honeslty I have more but after 8 services more than 10k BGN spent, frustration and problem, we just decided to solve our own problem.<br />
<br />
Its actually sending emails for a charity website, so speed of campaigns and them going wihtout a hitch is crucial. Qe havent been able to run 1 campaign successfully in a year.<br />
<br />
We are around 2 months away from beta.<br />
Do you think I can post my progress for the beta on the forum? Offer discount options for and collaborate with forum members like the progress for goal sumo?</div>
