I'm so sick and tired of businesses abusing my trust and/or not publishing their security breaches that I'm using plus ('+') email addresses everywhere, i.e.:

[e-mail]

for regular interactions, or:

[e-mail]

for one-off interactions.

Won't help with historical abuses/data breaches but it'll certainly be invaluable in the future.

About 10% of sites don't allow you to use a plus sign in your email address.

I started doing the same years ago and nothing came out of it. Most spam I got subscribed to, seemed to get my details some other way (or sanitised my email).

Same. I still do, but 90% of the spam that actually lands is due to a biz I legitimately gave info to illegitimately sharing it with others
