I only just thought of this. I have the same cartoon-y profile pic from a foreign TV show on a bunch of my accounts, I wonder if its unique enough and worth tracking.

I think about that sort of thing every time I upload any image at all, just out of inherent paranoia. A profile pic would most likely be one of the first things people check if for some reason they wanted to find other accounts you might have.

I don't think "data brokers" are quite at the level of sophistication where they're automatically doing that to everyone, but with AI they'll probably get there soon.
