Last fall, I sent an email describing my start as an online copywriter in 2009. It got immediate replies from two separate Shrimpers telling me how old they were that year:
Five and ten years old, respectively.
Rude!
I posted about it and got a lot of sympathy and outrage: “Why’d they need to choose violence?”
One follower DM’d “Boomer alert!” and I had to explain that, no, I’m GenX. Big distinction.
My cousin messaged me the below:
I explained that the youths actually do check (and buy from) email — especially, but not only, 20-somethings in the marketing and copywriting space because they’re studying the form.
And those people tend to love my emails —
a) because my emails rock and
b) because they like the idea of telling stories for a living.
Also, I added, a survey would be a great idea. Always helpful and not weird at all. I have one in my welcome sequence (which I recommend), but why not throw one at you then and there? And do it again now?
Will you take 2 minutes to answer a few quick q’s? One of them (the only required one) is supposedly rude. Apologies if you’re offended.
There's a special surprise waiting for you when you finish. And it's not a coupon for Metamucil. Not that there’s shame in boosting daily fiber intake, at any age.
Thank you!

PS - tl;dr: I want to know how old you are. And some other stuff.
