IMO replying unsubscribe should always work for marketing emails and if it doesn’t then I flag the email as spam. Nope, I’m not going to visit that tracked / info gathering unsubscribe link.

I only use unsubscribe links from things I voluntarily and willingly subscribed to.

If I was involuntarily subscribed to something, or subscribed because of an inconspicuous "subscribe me" checkbox that I probably didn't notice, including from a legit business that I purchased an item, it's getting reported as spam in Gmail.

This is the right approach. Usually I also avoid any future business with a company that starts spamming me.
