I mark marketing email as spam, and not because it's easier than unsubscribing.
The vast majority of spam I receive is marketing emails from legitimate companies I bought something from, and who mistakenly think this means I want their marketing emails. I never deliberately subscribe to marketing emails, so if I get one then either:
1) They sent me marketing email without asking, therefore they deserve to be marked as spammers and get the associated hassle.
2) They had some pre-ticked "send me spam" tickybox on a web page designed to distract attention from it, therefore they deserve to be marked as spammers and get the associated hassle.
