Should we pinch/prune the suckers of tomatoes?

As with most vegetables, tomatoes with fresh, thin mowing and straw, which better retains soil moisture and prevents mildew. To prevent the leaves from being in contact with the ground, I also remove the branches located on the bottom 20 to 30 cm of the main stem. After all, everyone has their own technique. And what is yours?
