Yes, ?I unsubscribe if I know the senders. Actually, I used to unsubscribe quite a lot of junk but not all! ?Once in awhile there¡¯d be an annoying unknown sender and sometimes I¡¯d unsubscribe them.?
Then one day I sent an unsubscribe and voila - within a couple days I was getting 5 spams from the same source. ?Those started going directly to the junk or trash. ?I do scan the junk and trash folders daily or almost daily. ?

The only ones I unsubscribe are known good sources, like my county library system. They recently started a new monthly news letter. Or a retailer that I recently placed an online order, rare as that is.
Actually, those KNOWN senders that I no longer wish to receive mails from are the ones I¡¯m writing about (they could be magazine publishers, online retailers, political parties, etc. I know they¡¯re ¡°legitimate,¡± not scammers or spammers, but I no longer need to communicate with them. I¡¯m just wondering if the very fact of legitimizing the validity of their connection to me might be harvested somehow (for example, in lists of verified email addresses sold to less legitimate buyers), and thereby put me at increased risk of attacks.
