Has anyone tried the voluntary stuttering technique?

Has anyone tried the voluntary stuttering technique? This technique isn't widely spoken of, but it's claimed by some people and authors on the internet that it greatly alleviates your stutter by making you realize that stuttering is an accepted thing in our community and that people aren't actually gonna judge you for it, or defect you. Voluntary stuttering is where you purposefully stutter when talking to anyone, instead of making too much effort trying to hide it. This makes you accept the fact that you stutter, and reduces your fear and anxiety when talking to others. Has anyone actually tried this technique to reduce their stuttering? Did it work with you or was it just a waste of time?
