That’s a use case for aliases, catching if any company or service gives out your email to be abused by advertisers and whatnot. I tried looking for stories but didn’t find any, I wonder if you have any to share.
It happened once since I started using them 2.5 years ago. A website that sells online courses sent me some clothing marketing e-mail.
Dealing with it right now. Bought some parts from Glockparts.com and about a year later I started receiving spam emails to the alias address.
Regodtered a test account on quickbooks. 2 yeeks later UPS was emailing on tjis alias me to register my ups business account

Some of my aliases won’t work on a few companies websites. Epic games is one major one. Also my local councils system doesn’t recognise my email.
Unfortunately, no. 
But I’m waiting for the “gotcha!” day.
Sure thing. Thats main reason why Im using VPN btw…
Everytime I shop for sth online, there is a period of 2-4 weeks afterwards that I keep getting tons of SPAM. After this period, things get back to normality.
Imo the best benefit of email aliases is that if you are caught in a few databreaches, people will be unable to link together the data to form one collective profile on you.
Another benefit: I had an account I registered using a forward address. I was getting email newsletters constantly. I unsubscribed, deleted my account multiple times and they still spammed me. Fortunately, I was able to delete the forwarding address, no more emails.
