They’re the same thing, really.

Not really: but majority of spammers think that they are doing marketing.

And majority of marketing is perceived as spam.

I've never once received a "marketing email" that wasn't spam.

If you’re sending to someone who actively subscribed and wants to hear from you it’s not “marketing”, it’s information. Basically a newsletter.

Otherwise it’s spam.

Only “marketers” make that distinction.

I don't know if it's always spam, but it's up the same creek as trying to brute-force your way into someone's heart.
