All I got from that was some spam and "defi" recruiting for whatever Ponzi scheme the cryptocoin community is hot on right now.

Yeah I'm still getting spam from sketchy crypto orgs months after I put my email into a HN hiring thread once. Don't recommend.

Consider a "burner" email alias for such situations. Fastmail makes creating them easy enough.

Apple’s iCloud+ also includes “hide my email” which creates randomized addresses that forward to your main account.

I got my current job from it.

No idea which experience is more typical.
