Oh have I got news for you! Try signing up for an email alias or you could use something like Kill the Newsletter to get those newsletters in an RSS feed (yes, they're still a thing and having a bit of a revival).
I use Fastmail which has a masked email service. If I am not sure I will want to continue receiving a newsletter or using a service I create a masked email and use that. If I no longer find the newsletter or service useful, I can either block the masked email or delete it entirely and voila. They don't have my real email address and I no longer receive their spammy emails. Win for me, lose for them but who cares.
