Why is Twitter spamming users with new "Updates from Twitter" emails nearly every week?

on (ttk.me b/4LA1) using BBEdit

I tried to fit this into a tweet, then drafted four, now a post.

When you click the "unsubscribe to these emails" link at the bottom of the numerous spam emails Twitter has recently been sending out, it takes you to a page that says:

"Too much chirping? We hear you!"

Well, apparently you (Twitter) don't, because you're still making up new opt-out email subscriptions.

Is Twitter so desperate for inflated growth that it's had to resort to new annoying "Updates from Twitter" emails nearly every week?

Or is it that Twitter has bolloxed up their previously simple UI so much that it's compelled to spam for engagement?

Must I visit my Twitter Email notifications page regularly to uncheck the latest email marketing brainfart? Why the email notifications Whac-a-mole UI, Twitter?

Where's this checkbox?

[x] Never add me to any new "Updates from Twitter" notifications.
