My personal feelings on this is that any company that signs you up to multiple email lists and does not provide and easy and quick way to unsubscribe to them all is an unethical company that no one should do business with. That applies even in this case, as it wouldn't be difficult to provide a central method to unsubscribe to every individual author's mailing list. They simply don't want to do it, so they, and the authors using them, shouldn't get any of your money because of that. There's plenty of indie authors that don't treat their readers that way.

Where DriveThru is concerned it's as much notifications of updated versions as it is marketing. Also, the emails come via DriveThru not directly from the individual companies, so at least it is a reasonably easy task to manage them.
