I find it interesting that around 90% of spam account signups on Infosec.exchange use a gmail address to register. Now, that’s partly biased because I’ve blocked most of the junk email services that allow creating email addresses without needing to sign in or register, so I don’t know what it would look like if those were permitted, however it must be quite efficient for people to create large numbers of gmail accounts.
