This is half the fucking interweb, right now. JESUS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THEM YOUR REAL EMAIL ADDRESS. Fucking calm down.

Yes, I realize how much hate I will get for this. I don't give a shit. Seethe away, kids.
WHAT DATA??? They don't have any power to mine your data, here! They will only get what you give them. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THEM ANYTHING VALUABLE!
As I keep saying: the correct response isn't getting mad. The correct response is to give the corporation a throwaway email address.
The smart move isn't taking your ball and going home. The smart move is STUFFING THEIR CORPORATE MAW FULL OF THROWAWAY PROTONMAIL ADDRESSES THAT WON'T BE WORTH A PENNY TO ANYBODY!!!
You say that, but look at what various people are asking, in this situation.
Sony is asking for any email address, HOPING you give them a real one, but without any power to make you do that.
I'm asking for people to give Sony nothing but throwaway email addresses that you don't care about.
Others are asking THESE KIDS TO STOP PLAYING A GAME THEY LIKE.
Can you look me in my faceless, digital cyber-persona and tell me that these kids will continue to boycott a game they enjoy?
You know they won't. They're hyped up and mad, right now. They won't be, in a few weeks, and they'll start crawling back to that game they already bought.
BUT MAYBE WE COULD USE THEIR ANGRY MOMENT, RIGHT NOW, TO CONVINCE THEM TO CREATE NEW EMAIL ACCOUNTS.
Once they do that, and they give Sony those accounts, it's done! The damage has been done to the godforsaken corpo data mining machine.
I don't think I'm wrong, here.
I don't think I've ever seen such a well written recipe for boiling frogs.
How much are you getting paid to shill this hard?
Someone's got a less extreme opinion than you? Well, it's 2024. They must be a literally paid-off shill.
Get out of my face with that shit, man. I get more pro-giant-meteor every fucking month.
Lmao just make another email bro, turst me bro just another email
And?
What's the fucking problem? Like I said to someone else, I have probably made 300 email accounts since 1997, and I've probably used them to make ACTUAL TENS OF THOUSANDS of free web accounts, for shit on the internet.
Why would it bother me to make some more? It's literally part of my culture. What is there to be so fucking mad about?
A lot of people don't want to make a gazillion emails, simple as
Uh-huh. How many is "a lot," in this context? More than 500? Because the Fortune 500 list of companies only has 500 companies on it.
That means there are 500 CEOs out there, who could make the argument that their time is so valuable that they can't spare a few seconds of it, to create some free accounts for some shit that they're using.
Let's be honest: you're NOT one of those people. Just shut up and create the free fucking accounts. You've already wasted SO much more time, throwing a fucking tantrum over this shit.
Grow. The. Fuck. Up.
Like enough to make a big ruckus about it online. It's just unnecessary dumb shit so of course people find it annoying. Seems simple enough tbh.
Sorry, I just won't lol.
