Questions & Answers about Мне надоела рекламная рассылка от магазина, и я решила отписаться.
Why does the sentence start with Мне? Why is it dative, not nominative я?
With the verb надоесть (to get on someone’s nerves / to become tiresome), Russian commonly uses a structure that’s like To me it became annoying.
So the person who is annoyed is in the dative: мне.
The grammatical subject (the thing that became annoying) is рекламная рассылка in the nominative.
What exactly is the subject of надоела in Мне надоела рекламная рассылка?

Why is it надоела (feminine past), not надоел or надоело?
Because рассылка is feminine singular, and past tense in Russian agrees with the subject:
- masculine: надоел
