Have you actually seen spam emails being sent to your +wildcard addresses following a breach?

My understanding is that the use case for these hacks is typically not email spam.

One of my (non-wildcarded) emails has been included in many hacked email breaches, and I've yet to notice any associated spam.

I def did for the recent Peloton one. I was getting TONS of spam to my Peloton wildcard email until I changed it and blocked the old one.
