      I can imagine that spammers nowadays can write a simple script that drops everything from the + to the @, so while that may work for some spammers, others will just use your normal email address. I’ve resorted to creating a catchall for my personal domain. Also not ideal, but it’ll hopefully take them a while to figure that one out for everyone using their own domain.

      Some apps let you create an email account first then link socials/OAuth providers on top, so there’s that. But other times it’s indeed a good solution. Unless the site uses validation that doesn’t allow for subaddress extension.
