One bummer about ‘burner accounts’ in 2025 is it seems to be increasingly difficult to have a true anonymous burner account that doesn’t involve someone getting your PII. A few short years ago you could just get a disposable email address from a bunch of places and use it to sign up, but now everything seems to be super locked down to where you either need an existing email address or a phone number to create an email account, both of which tend to have ways of being tied back to you.
I don’t know if there’s even any email services left that will just give you an account no questions asked, but I’ll bet if there are they’ll already be rejected as invalid by the big players.
