I figure this would be a good place to ask. Im not paranoid but I say a ton of stupid stuff on the Internet. It's fun having conversations with total strangers after work 😁. Anyway, I was thinking. Could I keep a level of anonymity if I just created new accounts every month for example? Is that a thing people use? Like every month you just abandon your bs account and get a completely new account on google. Google specifically since they are the assholes that keep selling our data.

Google will just add your new account to your profile and keep right on selling your shit.

This is exactly why I used a pseudonym from the outset.

From what I understand it doesn’t matter, that’s just a label they assign to all the data they have about you. Attaching all of that to your real name is trivial once they have the profile.

Exactly, that's why anything I do with my real name is on my wholly separate profile / device / email.

It's a boring computer that has my real name on it.
