I wouldn’t be surprised if using “fuck” as your first word automatically unsubscribed you. It might have nothing to do with a person reading the response.
Probably one of the most common responses to these messages is “fuck off”.
It’s always better to say stop or end or unsubscribe or something. Then they legally have to unsubscribe you, but they don’t if you send the message in the OP.
Has there been a single recorded case where somebody tried to unsubscribe from text spam like this, kept receiving it, and successfully had the sender prosecuted?
Aside from those basic catchall replies, I bet they get so few actual replies it might be easier to just have a bunch of interns on staff give you a real human reply.

Yes. Its rare-ish, but very lucrative as the spammers are violating the “TCPA” act, which has high penalties. Fines are around $500- $1500/text.
This legal site has some examples:

Politicians exempted themselves from the anti spam laws. Funny how that works.
