> When I tried to unsubscribe using the one-click unsubscribe button in one of the emails, I was met with an error: “Something went wrong, please try again later.” I want to start a blog which is just shaming every company whose most basic functions don't work and there's no recourse.

Nobody cares because the world has been taken over by organized crime, and to them you're just someone to be exploited. And why doesn't an independent company just create a better product? Because they don't like competition. It's a racket. You'll find that your suppliers give you outrageous prices (but discounted rates for their friends), that potential customers refuse to buy from you (you're blacklisted), and so on.
