> E.g. most of us on HN have profiles with no contact info at all. (Translation: most of us don't want our HN profile to be another attack vector for anyone to spam us.) For what it's worth, I've always had my email on my HN profile, and my email is also public + I'm pretty sure my phone number is public too after 2 decades of using it carelessly and also having it in my email signature. I don't think I receive more spam emails/calls than anyone else. After entering a "no-spam" block list for my phone in Spain (Lista Robinson) I receive literally no spam calls anymore, and I get about ~30 spam emails per day it seems.
