I figure this would be a good place to ask. Im not paranoid but I say a ton of stupid stuff on the Internet. It's fun having conversations with total strangers after work 😁. Anyway, I was thinking. Could I keep a level of anonymity if I just created new accounts every month for example? Is that a thing people use? Like every month you just abandon your bs account and get a completely new account on google. Google specifically since they are the assholes that keep selling our data.

Google and Meta and such don’t even need you to have an account to build accurate profiles and track you everywhere

This is true if one does nothing. It takes a lot of work but it is indeed possible to starve them of your data.
