Only if you’re specifically targeted. I know enough regex to know that nobody is going to bother trying to parse known passwords to identify patterns like that when there’s a billion suckers who use ‘password123’ for their bank accounts.
As long as the pattern is not super predictable, and aren’t dictionary words, nobody is brute forcing that.

Even a minute mental load at everything you need to log into in a day is still more than the zero mental load I have when using a password manager.
It’s not just more secure, it’s far more convenient. Plus once you start to share a life with someone, you can share all your accounts and passwords effortlessly as well.

These would be extremely easy to detect with regex. Just look for the service name in a password, including common keep speak conversion.
Password123-Facebookthen easily becomesPassword123-GitHuborPassword123-Walgreens.I can assure you, if I was a bad actor that got my hands on a password dump, I’m checking for these kinds of passwords pretty early on.
