I meant opt-in that you actually opted in to. I've gotten plenty of spam
where they claimed I opted into but know I didn't. I mean if you
purposely and knowingly signed up for it it's not spam.

Those would be spam. If they seemed like legitimate companies I would
try to unsubscribe once or twice but if it didn't work they would be
spam and get reported.
