I've been doing this for several years now (not specifically that service, since I have my own domains). It's really nice knowing exactly who sold your email to the spam bots, because it's right in the address. Super easy to block once that happens.
Yeah, I bought some Chinese batteries a while ago and they sold/leaked my info to a dozen other scam companies. None of which I was able to unsubscribe from. Just ticked a box to disable the email and that was the end of that. If I hadn't, they would have been blowing up my inbox for the rest of eternity with no way to stop it or know where it came from.
addy.io is another service which I'm using with my own domain. I know there exists a third, but I can't remember the name.
