I pretty much stopped using email altogether once I realised this is what was happening. Maybe 10 years ago now.

Email was really useful if you wanted to send a message or notification to multiple people at the same time, but that got abused so much literally everyone disabled it, at which point email was no longer useful.

People can still send me emails (e.g. for plane tickets), but the chances of me replying to one are nearly zero. Now I send maybe 4 or 5 emails a year and only to people who wont use literally anything else.
