Gmail’s junk folder seems to be working as designed since your spam messages end up there for you. You cannot stop spammers from sending those messages.

I rarely look in my junk folder and leave the spam messages there without emptying the folder.

By the way, unsubscribing to a spam message from an unknown sender may result in more, not less, spam messages because you have just confirmed your email address is actively read. Email addresses are sold commercially to spammers and the sellers want to sell addresses that are active.
