Unsubscribe links from reputable companies (the ones you actually
subscribed to) work most of the time. For the rest, most mail readers now
have spam buttons that automatically move messages to trash or a spam
folder and simultaneously report the sender's address to databases so
future mail from the same address will automatically be deleted and
re-reported.
