You can also create aliases on most sites by adding a + and a suffix to your email
You can never disable those aliases, though. The best you can do is write a filter that sends them to trash. With a good email alias system, you can actually disable an alias, so that emails to it just bounce back.
Many services just strip out everything at the + so I instead have a catchall account use email addresses like sitename@example.com. For addresses that start getting spam, I add them to a config in rspamd that bounces them. (I self-host my email server)
This is why I use a random email for every service that I can simply turn off on my end if they don’t behave.

eg. Register with the site name
[email protected]
And then if you get fed up just set up a filter to put everything that comes to that specific address into the trash
But the thing to do is that if they dont send you a link that automatically undubscribes you is to mark it as spam
A lot of services won’t let you use the +, and it’s also trivial to get rid of the extension with Regex.
