Yahoo Spam during death convulsions

Remember way back to the First Internet Bubble, when Internet companies started going down suddenly they ignored their own TOS and started email spamming their own users and some even sold off users emails to third parties despite their privacy policies?  That became sort of a early warning sign to me that a company was getting desperate.

So now, suddenly, Yahoo is sending me emails out of the blue.  I've never subscribed to any Yahoo marketing emails. Got one, unsubscribed promptly, now I get another.  I've used Yahoo mail since at least 2000 and this is a first.  Can't say I've ever read all the fine print in the latest TOS but I'm sure they have the right to do this, but it just seems odd. 

Anyone else seeing this?

None yet. And I have a Y throwaway still out there for sporadic use.
