Apple Mail parses the unscribe link and offers an unscribe button on the top of the message. That's easier than a forward and not yet another service.
gmail also provides such unsubscribe button

While I can’t avoid Google completely, I don’t use their web or mobile apps. Same goes for other services, though the issue with google connecting the dots on my online interactions is probably higher than with a small service. There on the other hand security is a higher issue than with Google with many SREs on call if something happens, so at the end of the day I prefer an offline service/program to parse my emails for the inscribe button.

It's a default list-unsubscribe header which pretty much every marketing sender will include in their emails. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8058

Or just hit the unsub link in the email.

That gets you blacklisted on email service providers so you risk missing order confirmations etc.
Pretty sure sending only legitimely useful emails to customers will not get any vendor blacklisted.

Or just click the unsubscribe button myself? Is forwarding the email really any easier than unsubscribing yourself?
A fine option, which I also endorse. In all seriousness, here’s what I do to combat Insidious Mailing List Spam. It’s kinda simple. 1. Get one email address for friends and family. Never ever post it online. Never use it for any shopping or anything. This is your email address . There is no mailbox anxiety because you get one email a day to this address and it’s from your dad and you love him. 2. Get another one for…
The address for friends and family should be split in 2 - one for the really technologically literate ones, who will never do stupid crap with it like using it in a pinterest "Share this!" form, and one for everyone else (who must never learn you didn't give them "best" address because they're clueless).
Also, if you own a few domains, devote a whole cheap one to mailing lists, online subscription and whatever else. Create a dedicated address everytime you subscribe to a service (like mybank@myjunkmaildomain.icu, amazon@myjunkmaildomain.icu, facebook@myjunkmaildomain.icu, somedodgyonlinemerchant@myjunkmaildomain.icu etc).
This gives you the benefit of seeing who leaked your address when you see spam, of being able to disable them individually, of being able to migrate provider with no impact to your accounts (just repoint your own domain's email forwardings)

Really? How would they even know? I've been clicking "report as spam" for anything with a not-immediately-obvious or intentionally complicated unsubscribe button (to punish shady tactics) for a very long time now and I haven't seen any signs of missing any order confirmations.
I've gotten into the habit of spam labeling these emails, hoping they contribute to the great spam filter in the sky. This works much better than unsubscribing because most of these emails aren't even intended for me but the jerks who keep using my email address to sign up for services and aren't required to verify the email address they provided. One thing I've realized having moved away from Gmail to fastmail, is t…
