A lot of people around me are genuinely confused when your email is not
[email protected]
, as they mostly just use it for confirming logins. That's how bad the situation is.I recently started using a
+
in my email address to make use-specific aliases, so I can more easily filter content from them or see if they're leaking my email.I signed up for a rewards program in person the other day and the strange look I got:
Like "you don't have an account but you have an email specifically for our business? Sus AF"
Damn I'm over here with like 4 emails
Personal / gaming, the professional one with my name, my collage one, and the new one I made to make it harder to dox me
Having an untraditional gTLD like
.xyz
makes many confused as well, especially those not in IT.
