Everyone wants your email address nowadays.  It used to be for valid reasons only to people you knew. 

“Oh, I’ll need to tell you where the meeting location will be.  Give me your email.” 

Then it changed to giving your address in EXCHANGE for something. 

“Oh, you can have that cupcake, but we need you email address.” 

Now it is simply to sell your soul to who knows what. 

“Oh, you want to enter to win that car no one actually wins?  We need your address so we can inundate you with emails even your spam filter can’t block.  Here, have GIF of a cupcake!”

I like to give my email address and phone numbers only to people who truly need them.
