 I prefer online confirmations such as LoTW and eQSL, but I still like to see 
QSLs, whatever kind. QSLs are a significant part of ham radio culture. I look 
at email QSLs and print up a few pf them. For me, the point is that they are 
friendly responses by other hams to our QSOs. 

I do appreciate those who take time to create an interesting QSL, whatever kind.

I don't respond to email QSLs.. I don't send them, either, and consider eQSL to 
be adequate.

I find them less irritating than the real junk email I get. Many of them have a 
fixed sender's address which you can block. There's also a DELETE key.

 I am starting to get a lot email QSLs after contests (probably 20 in the last 
few days after the ARRL DX SSB contest).

Does anyone know what the point is other than a digital equivalent of the 
traditional mailed QSL card?  They are not useful for any awards that I am 
aware of.

I stopped using the bureau last year and upload contest logs for N1UR to LOTW.

I have not been "responding" to these emails.

What do people know and what are you doing?
