there are 7 billion people on the planet, and many of them pretend to be multiple people online. Am I supposed to click 10 billion unsubscribe links, most of which I've discovered are actually "subscribe me harder" links? The vast majority of mail I get from "reputable" mailers like mailchimp and constant contact is not something I ever signed up for. And those are the reputable senders that have offices and a phone number you can call. Most senders aren't using a service like that. So, "don't subscribe in the first place" is a complete bullshit solution.
Anything gmail can do to keep all manner of commercial solicitations out of my inbox is welcomed. I actually disabled the visibility of the "promotions/spam" tab, but kept the filter, and will happily never have to look at that crap again.

My Gmail spambox already contains 40-50% legitimate emails that I have to rescue manually, so I already know I can't rely on Google filtering things properly...
