If I had one dollar for each time I clicked "unsubscribe" and $ONLINE_STORE decided to forget about that one month later...

I kinda solved that with fast mail + masked addresses, but still super annoying.

I have a rule in my email account. If it includes the word “unsubscribe” it gets sorted into a folder that gets deleted after 14 days. I manually review that folder every now and then to explicitly mark all of them spam. I would never sign up for any kind of email list to begin with, so it’s spam.
Ali express sometimes gives interesting stuff, so I accept their ad mails, even if they are daily. A few days ago, they somehow decided I should speak french, which annoyed me enough to unsubscribe.

3 days later, the mails spontaneously reactivated themselves, but the french reverted to dutch. Which is what I want, so I presume it all worked out in the end.
