If the email body contains the word unsubscribe, send it to the promotional folder.
One rule to rule them all.

And then my banking updates go into promotions. Along with notifications I set up on streaming sites, and newsletters, and patreon posts. It's not that simple.
Someone creating a more intuitive, graph-based UI for rules would be good, otherwise it’s easy to get lost in the overlapping mess, like you have to run the ‘bank email’ rule run before the ‘promotion’ rule, but after the ‘important’ rule.
Gmail’s auto-sorting is extremely simple to look at, but is out of the user’s control, it’s like a secretary handling your letters instead of a predictable system

I receive promotions from my bank, but only because they bothered to ask my email, other banks spam robocalls.

You can create one thematic alias and give it as your email to 1000 sites that belong to that category, they all will send millions messages to that alias.
I don't ever have to do it with Gmail, and that is a tremendous amount of time saved. It is a lifesaver.
