So the honest people wanting convenience will go somewhere else.

Now you only have dishonest people left, good job.

Today you learned a valuable lesson:

When an online service is free it generally means you’re the product.

now they have your email.

That’s why you use hide-my-email aliases when you sign up to sites, so they can’t tie “your” email to you anymore.

Every time I 'm forced to use a google account

Create a few junk accounts, send recovery to a hide-my-email alias

If you use password managers it really is no bother to have multiple accounts, and Proton Pass integrates hide-my-email, it’s pretty neat.

And this is a privacy issue?

What’s wrong with Mozilla?

The only privacy setting I can encourage on any social media site is don’t share private stuff about yourself and never link to your account from other accounts

It would be like going to “funny” and only expecting new jokes.

I’ll move on and try to find something better aligned with my needs.

After my death then. Alright, carry on.
