You never use the bare address. If it gets stripped then it gets binned.

What do 'bare address', 'stripped', and 'binned' mean in this context?

I don't agree with him, but he means you never use the email address without a "+service" in it.
Then, if the spammer strips (removes) that part, it gets sent to the trash (binned).
