Also the 2 factor and marketing emails. Despite reasonable efforts it's almost impossible to keep a non-high effort inbox zero at work and personal. At least authenticator apps are becoming a thing and adoption is rising.

But white papers post sign up and "marketing people" just flood the channel. I wish there were human only channels where any automation was banned. I guess like whatsapp.

Same concept as "can we get on a call to discuss my product". A) please dont cold call me, and if you do please just ask if now is a good time and B) as a personal rule I won't get on any call with a vendor who won't tell me how many digits his product sells for. In 2020 you can basically put your price on the website for most things or hint at a range. If you vary prices by so much at the same usage/feature level that you need to hide it from part of the customers.... theres something wrong with the product because really good vendors nowadays don't act like that.

I heard it's worse with younger peeple. The moment the doctors office gets a tablet they won't talk to anyone.

One more thing: yes I clicked on all 8 tabs of your webpage. Yes I knew you were watching on hot jar. Yes I got there white papers too even thought at best I would skim one to see how good the graphic design was. Please don't creepily make it so obvious you're tracking at the page view level. Not fun.
