Or just getting rid of marketing/sales/promotion/update/announcement emails. I regret not having used disposable emails (and phone numbers) for essentially everything ever touching anything involving politics, for example, as that would have kept tens of thousands of bullshit solicitations away from me over the years.

While I tend not to use disposable email addresses, I am a huge fan of having unique ones for many services or web site accounts. Not only does it tell me which ones have had a data breach or sold my info, but it also helps differentiate the spam that purports to come from that site, but isn't addressed to the specific one I _did_ use there.
