Wanna have something to chuckle?
I’ve made a specific email for NSFW 18+ internet websites (there’s one with achievements and I wanted to have recommendations) and this email address, being used at every single site I’ve visited more often, never got leaked.
Meanwhile I log in with Google and 4 hours later the nigerian prince asks me why I have changed my email address.
Yup, i have one for adult sites aswell. Never got spam, never got leaked, nothing.
But the one from the free mail provider i used to login into big data websites is full of shit at this point.
Don't forget mailing list nags that are engineered to pop up right when you are reading the third sentence of the article.
Right after the BS cookie popup.
Or I click a link to story about a cat stuck in a tree and it takes me to small, local newspaper I've never heard of called "The Sawfly Gazette - serving South Western Maine since 1975!", then it immediately tells me I've hit my "article limit" and must subscribe for $14.95.

It's not even casual internet surfing anymore. While looking for a job several months ago, I had to create a new account on every. Single. Fucking. Application.
I have several different Workday accounts because of that.

RIP the uneducated masses. It seems easy to us on Lemmy, but for fucks sakes, feel like hardware manufacturers should really step up and stop circle jerking with the likes of Microsoft/Google/Apple etc and ship computers that COME with free open source software as a base. Bit unrelated to the add-on thing, as that is easy as fuck to do and people just don't know, or they don't care
They don't know. For computers it is easy, but for Phones - this is really hard. But be glad that the masses don't know about it. They actually watch all ads and bring in the money, so us educated can leech with no ads.
There's a merchant I order products from, and the only way to get shipping tracking info is to install an invasive app that leeches all your Google information.
