> When I find a "get X free" button on a website that then asks for my email address, I like to search for the email of the company behind the website (sometimes it's on the legal page, or the privacy policy page) and I submit their email. I also make sure to check the "sign me up for the newsletter" box, to make sure the spammers get at least one of their messages.
> I don't really know why I do this, it seemed funny a few months ago when I started and now I do it out of habit.
> I now keep a list of emails from these spam sites, and subscribe them all to the various newsletters I find if I have 5 minutes.
