You’re trusting random spam emails enough to click anything? I just click the report spam button on the email client and let the spam filters take care of it.
If it’s a spammer, then unsubscribing just lets them add your email address to a list of known-active email addresses, which they can sell for more money to other scammers.
If you subscribed to something, then unsubscribe, sure. If you didn’t subscribe (AND accept a confirmation right after), then mark as spam ONLY - don’t unsubscribe also.
If someone else successfully subscribed you to something (accidentally or on purpose), then there wasn’t a confirmation process - these people should be marked as spam.
Yeah. Many spam emailers will abuse the ‘unsubscribe’ link in order to build up a list of active email addresses to send more shit to.
If somebody clicks ‘unsubscribe’, then you know they’re a hot target: an email address getting checked by a real person who looks at the spam emails at least long enough to read the title and look for an unsubscribe link!

No, i use the drop down menu on the email ui. It unsubs and reports spam.
