I wish what I do was more common:
Buy a domain name.
Make a new email alias for every entity I interact with:
amazon@example.com
nintendo@example.com
etc.
They all point to the same FastMail, Proton, or self-hosted email address, so I only have to go to one place to read all my email.
I can just nuke an alias whenever it starts receiving spam.
You don't need to go that far. I'm only familiar with one password manager but it does create email aliases when you're signing up, though I never tried.
The other thing you can do if you have Gmail , the plus sign is used to create aliases. If your email is foo@gmail.com, you will also receive emails automatically for foo+bar@gmail.com
Yeah, those are good, too.
