Same here. I do try to unsubscribe. I'm fine with up to 1.5 'pain points' during unsubscribing. That usually means I hit the limit after exactly 1 thing below as long as it's not taken to a point of ridiculousness:

- Logging in

- Clicking between multiple confusing tickboxes of which emails I want to unsubscribe from. Hint: If someone is actually going to the trouble to hit "unsubscribe", the answer is simply all of the bullshit non-critical emails.

- "You've been unsubscribed from Saturday morning emails sent by this particular product manager" ... implying I have to go find where to unsubscribe from all the rest of the damn emails.

But after that, or if any of these things are too onerous, I hit "spam" with a vengeance on. every. single. email. I get from that company ever again.

That said, I actually never got any Cloudflare spam at all, which is impressive.
