Both email and the telephone have been ruined by spam for me. The inbox has become an unwieldy, inefficient mess.
I'm even getting Google Drive spam now. Complete randos "sharing files" with me. There's no way to prevent it.
At least email has some tools to help mitigate the issue, like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. They aren't perfect, but they are loads better than telephony.
Plus addressing (your-email+somearbitrarytag@domain.com) is also a nice tool at your disposal. Helps track where the spam is coming from. I've found few/none trim it when storing addresses so it consistently works.
I've never gotten that to work. Did Gmail remove the ability to do it? I'm probably just dumb.
It should still work. It’s become kind of a common pattern. I’ve found it works in Proton Mail too which is nice.
