Best Buy has spammed me more than all of Nigeria’s princes combined





I’m not an expert on many topics, but I have learned a few things from personal experience. And the chief pearl of wisdom that I can pass on to the next generation is this:never give Best Buy your e-mail address.

I get dozens of spam e-mails every day, and I am constantly unsubscribing from lists I never joined. It’s just one of the hazards of being a tech journalist.

But while I’ve accepted that my work inbox is going to be filled with junk, I go to great lengths to keep my private e-mail pristine. I use a personal domain instead of an emailprovider.com address, and the spammers haven’t found it. Even my junk folder is empty. It’s glorious.
