This would be a large personal disaster and a full time personal project if the service provider decides to shut down the service. One would have to crawl through all services they have signed up for to update the email addresses.

Instead get a domain. Configure email as well as a catch all address. Example [email protected] would reach [email protected] which you use as your primary email address.

And say, if I am signing up for Netflix, I would give the email as [email protected]. The email automatically reaches my single primary inbox with the catch-all behavior. And if I find a lot of spam to [email protected], I know which service is leaking my email address and I can quickly block all emails sent to [email protected]
