Is this the kind of thing you thought about at 12 years old, signing up for your first personal email account?

    No but continuing to use it into adulthood I guess

    The issue is that there can be a huge amount of friction to changing your email address when you've been using it for a long time.

    That, and most people don't give a shit about their privacy.

    Yeah I've changed my main email a few times, and had a few issues years later trying to get to an account I no longer had the email for. Ended up having to buy the domain after someone was sitting on it to be able to recreate an old email and get access.

    Using a password manager now makes it a lot easier to keep track of stuff though being able to search logins
