This x100. I move it all to a folder called “Unsubscribe” and go through and unsubscribe from everything once in a while.

You can also make it a bit smarter by searching for the header “List-unsubscribe” instead. Less false-positives when someone forwards you an email that contains the word unsubscribe.
