I control spam by using email aliases. And it makes it easy to track exactly who leaked/sold my email address. But I don't use gmail, as I value my privacy.

I do aliases as well. Never enough. A battle-tested spammer would run s/+[^@]*// on the address before sending.

I have my own domain and just do <website-name>@mydomain.com and redirect everything to the same inbox sorted in folders.

Works pretty well, if any of those addresses gets into some spam list I just block it (hasn't happened yet, though)

Using passmail aliases through protonmail has worked well for me, that way my domain isn't exposed. And everything forwards to one inbox.

Subaddressing != aliasing.
