How can people push back on this insanity? I don't want 500 goddamn apps on my phone nor do I want 500 accounts on "portals" or what fucking ever your calling it today.
I agree with OP, but how do we resist the borg?

In things where I can't avoid an account, I use an email alias (personally I use Mozilla Relay, but Proton Pass offers logins as well if I recall.

One way is to just lie and say you only have a flip phone. There are probably millions of old people that refuse to use smartphones because they don’t understand them and there no reason you can’t pretend to also have a dumb phone.

GREAT idea! I have both a flip and a smart phone.

I try to by from small local retailers whenever I can.
They generally don't have the resources for apps like that, and/or they dont care to track their customers like that.
Plus you support the local economy. Win win.
