just to get it out of the way: yes, i know i can use a spam email/phone number. yes, i know i can opt out of promotional emails/texts. that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. i don’t need a growing list of empty accounts for websites i only spend an hour (or less) browsing through. don’t even get me started on restaurants that ask for your phone number when you scan their QR code…
Almost useless. Now most sites send a magic login link to the email (which you can’t read) and if the user accidentally used a mailinator public mailbox and you can get the link, the account is banned anyway
