What my sibling does is create a separate email (though an email service that supports it like proton) for every service. If someone sells them out to marketers, the spam will go to “[email protected]” or something like that, and they’ll know exactly which company was responsible, and where to block all the spam from.
And keep yet another, totally unrelated email for finances, so there’s less chance it’s ever hacked.
I got two e-mails just for these type of situations.
One e-mail for the accounts I REALLY need/want/will keep (games, social media…)
While my second one is just used for accounts I’ll only use once and those types of stuff.
This is the way.

We gave them different fake names. Now we’re getting ads addressed to Horatio Q. Tilwiwllilsmith and I can’t remember who I gave that name to.
