the.com/reactivation

The email that notices you ghosted and offers a discount to pretend it didn't happen.

means The act of bringing something inactive — an account, a service, a subscription — back to life or working order.

from Built from Latin re- ('again') plus activate, itself from Latin activus ('active, able to act'), rooted in agere, 'to do or drive.' The pieces are old, but 'reactivation' itself is a modern assembly — bureaucratic and technical at birth, now the favorite word of marketing teams trying to win back the people who quietly stopped opening their emails.

Sent right before you'd uninstall anyway
