Assuming you’re interested enough in the content to actually care about subscribing, using single-purpose email aliases is the best way to handle these two problems. For the rare thing I want to subscribe to, I have a unique email and tuned subscription preferences. I can turn off the email if I’m done with the content and not worry about trying to figure out how to cancel the sub.

How do you generate so many email addresses? Host your own domain?

  Yes, in my case, but also fastmail includes unlimited @fastmail.com email addresses, delivered to your normal inbox, and can even be generated on the fly by password managers like Bitwarden.

    > but also fastmail includes unlimited @fastmail.com email addresses On aliases, the limit is 600. Maybe you mean the recently added masked emails. The limit on those is not documented, but rumor says it's 1,000.[1] [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/fastmail/comments/t68eiw/comment/hzbhbdv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button https://www.reddit.com/r/fastmail/comments/t68eiw/comment/hz...

I used to do this, but it started causing a lot of problems when I needed to talk to customer support, especially the surprisingly numerous companies which still store email addresses as an immutable record of account identity.
