After years of history, time to say goodbye to mailchimp – Mailchimp Email Marketing Review

More than a year ago, they required me to reconfirm all of my ten years of contacts who volunteered to be on my list. Mailchimp said they decided to do this one day due to the unethical GDPR rules in Europe that don't apply to the US (all of my contacts are US-based and my contacts gathering from in-person events did satisfy GDPR rules...if I were under their jurisdiction). Many contacts were marked unsubscribed without the contacts' agreement to be removed. Trying to resubscribe them through email is obviously very difficult with automatic spam folder routing and users' habits. It has been one big mess for a while. Now, my list was always under the subscription level for professional paid level account. One day, it requires me to give a payment to reactivate my account even though the list is under the subscription Max level for the associated payment (especially due to the loss of subscribers from their previously mentioned practice). The account has always been registered under a distribution account email in my exchange server...business people understand this and that it is not setup for sending. Despite being able to prove my identity in different ways as an option, I cannot receive support to fix the problem with their account system. I have now signed up with constant contact to move the business forward ... No thanks to mailchimp.
