I've also got a first last address (although with Outlook* ) and a 4-letter alias attached. I only use it for stuff I don't want to clog up my vanity domains with but that email account has become a swamp of notifications of signups to random services I've never used, whoever signed up trying to scam those services, and those services contacting the scammer to tell them they aren't allowed to use the service anymore because of their chargeback/non-payment/scummyness. Along with a variety of bouncebacks from email worms (in 2018!!) a whole bunch of more innocent but equally irritating accounts being attached. I used to try to help out companies this was happening to by giving them a heads-up, resetting & changing the account pwd and suggesting ways of mitigating the issue (hello doordash) but these days I can't be bothered... My next freebie email is going to be a random 64 character alpha numeric string to minimalize those collisions. * it's actually okay, honestly!
