Default CCleaner Is Silently Updating Users Who Turned Off Automatic Updates

Spamming works because one boob in a million qualifies the spam
campaign. Spamming would not have survived if no one bought from the
spammers. It would've come and quickly disappeared because no one acted
upon that spam. So, is spam the fault of the spammers that find it
lucrative to catch one out of a million or the fault of the assholes
they buy to further fund the spamming effort? Prostitution and drug
trafficking continue to exist because there exist customers. Same for
spam.


Advertising in a nutshell. There is a cliche that half your
advertising budget is wasted, but you can't know which half.

If enough people respond to an ad campaign to pay for the
campaign, manufacturing, distribution, management, and show a profit,
it was money well spent. With Email, the cost is low, so you only
need one "sale" to recoup.*

*I'm recalling a radio ad for HP printers (iirc). Brand X was selling
printers for $1,000,000. Hadn't sold any yet, but when they did, the
second one would be pure profit.
