Have levels to it too. Email address 1 is for absolute sus shit. Email 2 is for social media etc. Email 3 is for promos which require sign ups. Email 4 is for same but more legit. Etc.

It's very likely that, if they are not already, some (if not all) those email addresses will be unified under a singular identifier in some sort of identity graph that is being used for advertising targeting and attribution.

Very similar here...

Basic stuff...

Basic stuff 2 (when Basic 1 got too busy)

Business 1 (for VITAL business stuff--like data feeds and subscriptions)

Business 2 (for business websites like LinkedIn, WSJ, etc.)
