True, signing up for several accounts using the same personal domain will create a link between those accounts though (whereas if they're all @simplelogin.com or similar then you're hiding asking the crowd)

Maybe. However, as long as they don't know my real name/identity I don't really care. Fact is that is much easier for companies to just block known email alias services than unknown random domain. Some of them do this already. Neither method is perfect, obviously.
