I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

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:

Do you have an account with us?

Idk

I can look up your email

Ok, it's [email protected]

I don't see it, would you like to make an account?

Yes, but instead of that email, make it [email protected]

Uhhhhh.... Ok....

Like "you don't have an account but you have an email specifically for our business? Sus AF"

Having an untraditional gTLD like .xyz makes many confused as well, especially those not in IT.

Personal / gaming, the professional one with my name, my collage one, and the new one I made to make it harder to dox me
