Aliasing being blocked (sh.itjust.works)

I’ve noticed that more and more websites/services are blocking email alias services. Is the only solution to continue being able to use aliases is to buy a domain and make email aliases with that or are there any other solutions?

Get a cheap domain (~$10/yr) and setup a catch-all address - then you can use whatever@yourdomain.com without needing to create each alias beforehand, and each service gets a uremoved address that you can block if they leak it or start spamming you.
