It's hard to tell where the spam is coming from, since that address was leaked by yahoo, LinkedIn, probably Equifax, and numerous others that were hacked.

Guess I'll check out that "Free Smoked Brisket (5.5 lbs) from Walmart in my (junk) inbox. NOT.

I am told that Thiel and Musk are long gone from PayPal.
I don't like them either.

I guess that the email address is "needed" for a confirmation email.
Unlike my case, I suppose that you can use a throwaway email address (?)

I get free aliases that I can deactivate, with iCloud plus, but my relationship with Apple is not going any further.

I hate Cupertino Nazis.
