I do something similar, but: if I buy something and get a "why not buy something else?" email, I don't just unsubscribe; I mark it as spam. I am careful to never opt in to messages like that, so if I am receiving them then they are my address beyond the consent that I provided, so I want Gmail to downrank their trust.
I agree that either of these approaches pays dividends. I feel great about it.

- tczMUFlmoNk 2y agoI don't think that these reports are false in any sense. The emails being flagged are unsolicited messages sent in bulk. That's spam.
