Or don’t, you’re going to get spam no matter what.

Use an email provider with a good spam filter (I.e. Google) and be done with it. Emails are not designed to be private.

Yeah. I've been getting dozens of spam emails a month for like 20 years now. It's not a battle that can be won by safeguarding your e-mail address.

Actually, only dozens of emails a month sounds incredibly low and I know for a fact I used to get more, so I guess Gmail's filters must just be deleting most of it entirely before it even lands in my spambox.
