The question is if you still actively use those 100s of accounts. Out of all the things i’ve ever signed up with, I maybe only use a dozen of the services at most. Most of the accounts I created during childhood and teenage years on random websites I will never ever touch or think about again, couldn’t care less if I lose them.

iminahurry@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoI have had my Gmail account for 20 years (since the days of needed an invite). I have 100s of accounts where I have used the id. It’s just not possible to change my email id everywhere. I imagine this would be the case for many people.

I can vouch for myself and say that I do have hundreds of accounts that are tied to my Gmail. Changing my email would be worse than changing my cell number I’ve used for over 20 years lol

Not really gmails fault this tho, this would be true of any mail provider you’d use for this time spand. That has more to do with how userprofiles on the internet works.

We’ve had an identical experience. It’s sad to see the enshitification of GMail.
