Nice article.
Enjoyed reading it.
A few months ago, I alao went on a small spree of deleting from my ~500 accounts.
Some companies/services were offline, some redirected, some had no or very cumbersome ways to delete my data.
Sometimes I juat wanted to edit my email.
Welp. No can do bro. Your E-Mail is cemented in place and only the heat-death of the universe can remove it.
Thanks. Absolutely my experience too. The ones where you can't edit the email I noticed often used the email as username, and probably god knows how bad is the code on the backend.
