I get vastly less spam. Gmail just plain deletes most of it without even dumping it into the spam folder. It's down from thousands a month to dozens. Companies do subscribe me to mailing lists pretty easily but I really don't mind if they honor the unsubscribe link. And most seem to. (The exception was the Red Cross who I eventually had to mark as spam.)

That's a temporary reprieve. Gmail started hard-requiring an x-unsubscribe header for anyone that sends more than a couple hundred emails to gmail. It isn't hard to put in, it's just that the lower effort mailers need to adjust and don't have visibility on their own spam rates.
