Anyone else tired of getting spam after signing up for random sites?

AlexanderBrown

I feel like every time I sign up for something (tools, downloads, free trials), my inbox gets flooded a few days later.

At first I thought it was just bad luck, but it kept happening. Even legit sites end up sending promos or somehow my email ends up on other lists.

Recently I started using a Temporary Email Generator[https://www.tempemail.cc/blog/temporary-email-generator] instead of my real email for these kinds of signups, and it honestly made a big difference.

You just generate a random email, use it for verification, and that’s it. No long-term spam, no clutter in your main inbox.

Obviously I wouldn’t use it for anything important, but for one-time stuff it’s been super useful.

Curious how others deal with this — do you just ignore the spam or use something similar?
