Hi, no progress sent to me.
If you look futher up in the stream one user suggests that the issue is related to revenue, more contacts = more revenue.
If this is the driver for not adding the conact creation control then Hubspot is missing a trick.
The controls could be added as a chargeable feature, basic level+.
I am sure that there are many users who are managing hundreds spam emails who would pay $10 per month to automate the clean up (and protect their GDPR)
