I am using Backerkit instead of Kickstarter for our new campaign, they send out automated emails that I can't toggle on/off and I know it can be frustrating for some folks but online advertising is incredibly hard for small creators, so there's not an easy answer - ThreadSky

Ads are incredibly expensive and hard for small creators, so the ability to reach their own audience (i.e. people who have supported previous projects) is really rare and needed - I just (personally) make an email just for online purchases of any sort so I can glance at it but not barrage of spam

I never signed up for it, and they randomly mail me. It's spam. It's not your fault, but because they spammed me, I don't want to have anything to do with them, or kickstarter. Which means you suffer because they decided to spam.

This sucks for you, and Ethan, and possibly others. But I get very angry about any spam I get.

I understand! I tend to think of small creators/advertising on these kind of things to be not spam, but the issue is very real - even keeping things separated I waste a lot of time having to constantly clear floods of junk in my inboxes (and missing stuff that gets sent to spam incorrectly)
