I bought one thing from Wayfair and got nine emails about it over the course of four days.

      I do the same thing, but you do realize you do it -because- it’s a problem, right?

      Like you shouldn’t need a separate email for “I want to buy this/sign up for this, but I know I’m going to get a fuckton of emails so I need to use this separate email address to protect my main one from junk”. That just shouldn’t be a thing.

        I run a catchall account. Every vendor gets [vendor]@myemail

        Stops spam, stops data theft, stops phishing stops data brokers. Makes tracking data on me useless.

        To be honest, it works so well, I can’t imagine not having it.

        I mean maintaining a junkmail account isn’t a problem.

        I never worry about deleting things, I never get unwanted notifications I never worry about it. Ez
