<p>Update: I was honestly hoping to forget about this and move on. And now I receive another email! And while they closed with an apology for the unsolicited spam and promise to unsubscribe me from whatever I didn't subscribe to, they couldn't help but shill a bit more:<p><pre><code>  I wanted to give you an update about our name change and share with you our exciting journey, which you can find here: https://openbb.co/blog/gme-didnt-take-me-to-the-moon-but-gamestonk-terminal-did

  TL;DR. We are on a mission to make investment research effective, powerful and accessible for everyone.

This is adding insult to injury. /rant</p>

<p>A recent post[0] went around about OpenBB. I starred their GitHub[1] repository because I was interested and now I've just received an email[2] thanking me for signing up for their newsletter.<p>Look, I hate to call the project out but I'm tired of people scraping GitHub for emails and blasting out marketing spam. And I'm confident they scraped my email from GitHub because that's the only place 'github@mydomain.com' is used.<p>[0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30854451<p>[1]: https://github.com/OpenBB-finance/OpenBBTerminal<p>[2]:<p><pre><code>  Hi,
