That which you are missing is a few things :)

Firstly, someone cannot just start sending you bulk emails each day
without you ever having asked for those emails.

Anyone can maybe send you one email and check if they have the correct
email address and, if you do not reply or respond, maybe two or even
three 'confirmation' emails..

Twitter specifically, sends out the same confirmation emails, forever

And;

Twitter does not require opt in, to start sending you spam. Once they
have your email address, the spam keeps on coming and coming. 

And;

Twitter specifically does not always honor UNSUBSCRIBE, they just keep
on sending spam. It depends on which way the wind blows in America on
that day, I guess, as they have honored unsubscribes before, and then
not and then again, etc. 

And;

Twitter magically sends emails to email addressess ONLY found in STOLEN
data.

So, this means that:

Twitter are criminals or Twitter serves as a platform for criminals to
operate 

And - Twitter does either of those two - Knowingly.

And;

twitter refuses to receive abuse complaints....

I can go on and on and on.. As unbelievably, Twitter is even more
abusive... but what is the point?

As I said before - and on the subject line - Twitter and other
large multinationals - commit abuse and simply Are too big to fail.
