I used to do that, but then considered I might be leaking out more inferred info by doing that. Such as WHOIS info (if not cloaked), or an algorithm may assume I'm a business and charge me higher prices, etc. I used to get marketing spam from Dropbox saying that many of my coworkers enjoy using it and to upgrade -- but I was the only user on that domain name.

> WHOIS info (if not cloaked) I wouldn’t consider this a legitimate concern. Whois privacy is common and often free for nearly all registrars (barring TLDs which disallow this) > May assume I’m a business I really doubt this happens frequently, at least far more infrequently than a business using your permanent email for spam. Besides, if the algorithm decides that any non-gmail/outlook/yahoo/etc mail is “business”, then they’re going to assume that about any disposable email. Personally, I find the $4/year I spend on a domain name to be incredibly worth it and the downsides are far fewer than the upsides.
