Annoying marketing practices

I recieved this email today. I don't use twitch, only made an account once for some specific purpose. I don't know these people and I'm a 100% certain they don't know me. This is just toxic marketing to lure me back in.

Those aren't even real people. Those "usernames" are the names of custom emojis you can use in Twitch chat. Still weird in context, but I can see how it would be even more creepy if you didn't know that.

Those aren't emojis, these are emojis (-; :p o-: 0==8 <3. In my time, we still had respect for our elders.

Now get off my lawn!!!
