It’d be low lift and inconsequential to make a registration system filter email aliases. Not saying Netflix does, because I don’t use that piece of shit. I’m just saying, don’t become reliant on this.
I use this for gmail to filter out spam. I used it for Best Buy and it worked online but when the cashier asked me for my email address the system didn’t allow + signs in the email field.
I’ve personally found it more reliable to purchase a domain, use an email host, and then set up a catch-all. Then you can just use best.buy@dot.com, netflix@dot.com, and so forth on the fly.
And then if necessary to combat spam, just set a sieve filter to turn off the faucet on whatever email you need to.

When the cashier asks for my email address, I reply “no”.
I usually don’t but I had Best Buy rewards. And I would rather give my email than my phone number.

Not everyone can host their thing though
I mean, of course. However, if you can, this is what I’ve found works really well.
Oh yeah, if you can than it’s 10 time better
Great idea. I already have a domain and I pay for hosting and email already.
