That’s why I use the DuckDuckGo privacy extension in Chrome – create a new e-mail address on the fly that forwards messages to the e-mail address on file. Getting spam on the temp address? Disable the temp address and spam’s all gone.
Or keep a link to 10 minute email or gorilla mail handy if you really don’t ever plan on needing an address for more than a few minutes.
I’ve gotten so fucking tired of receiving spam mail I’ve created a new email on proton, and paid for premium so I can create infinite aliases (one for each service) and know exactly which email was sold or leaked in a hack, and shut that alias down to stop receiving spam. There’s literally no other way to stop it and it’s frustrating.

So accurate. Also thank god for archive.ph and other paywall jumping sites!
Irony at its best.
I use proton pass and firefox relay to hide my real email from scummy sites like these. Then, if i get spam even once, i can just hit “block”
Ha ha, I had a similar one recently. Lemme post it.

That’s great!
I don’t mean to take it too far, but stuff like this basically signaling the doom of our culture.
I have an address i never check that is just for situations like this. They can spam it all they want and I don’t care
