Creating aliases for the addresses you are actually using, e.g. a netflix@ signup is preferred over a general catch all, .. and all that spam senders can generate approach.


Some services will also ban you for this. Samsung, Amazon, ... so you have to use generic or random words on left side.


Been using this with Amazon and plenty of other services for decades, not sure where you’re coming from.


Samsung now blocks the word samsung at registration time. Previously if you signed up successfully they would disable your account at a random point in the future.


i encountered the samsung@ issue too, so that turned into sumsang@ which worked. :)
