If that is YOUR email address top left of screenshot
I advise you to edit the screenshot and take the address out.
I mean please I would like to know why I keep getting email spams?
You enter your email address on a site, some of the sites, depending on the nature of the site, eg not secure -
sell your email address amongst other data
OR you actually show it, like you did here.
One of the main ways you get spam emails is by using your email to register for freebies or when you sign up with a site to download content online. Doing this allows websites to hold your email address and send you emails anytime they want, and it is some of these free offer sites that sell your email address
OR a site where you enter your email address has been hacked and data lists stolen.

finally your reply to my post advising you to remove your email address from your post
shows your lack of precautions regarding your email address.I don't mind to show my email address
It is of course NOT THIS site that would sell your email address, but anyone can browse this site and then spam you on your address.
Some people are so unaware they even include their email address in there public profile on various sites.
Do we have any idea whether spammers can be bothered to read email addresses from images on web pages (like his screen shot) and enter them into their lists? I'd be surprised. I am on Gmail, and as i am fairly casual about my address, I am amazed I get no spam at all - well, I don't know when I last got any.
How can one really know
I suppose the 1000$ question is - would you put your email on a post on this or any other site, where anyone can see it.
Certainly emails are gathered from some sites
There is without doubt a market for selling email addresses
