I'm finding my choice to delete all accounts for any service and only use things that let me go without an email attached has been a very good choice. Why the fuck does spotify need a social network? It feels like we're approaching the day where grocery stores start posting your face next to all the stuff you bought on a big screen after checkout and announcing it to the store. It's not even a lack of privacy where companies and the govt want to see everything. They want the whole world to know everything you do.

A podcast I listen to here in Canada mentioned their partner doing something at the bank, brought all his government ID stuff and they still tried to make them give the bank a cellphone number for 2-factor identification as if that's more secure than the documents. Was able to talk get them to accept the documents but governments have totally abandoned "security" of identity to private corporations.
