    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.

      Configure an individual Mail address for every site you need one for. You then know who sells or loses your address without telling you.

    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.

    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.
