I wish this was the only problem with signing up to services, because it can be solved with formfills, verifying your email upon entering it, etc, etc. As someone who got their last name at gmail in 2004, I've gotten a lot of emails for other people over the years, and A LOT of services don't require verifying your email for signing up. I've gotten a Twitter, Instagram and Fiverr account without signing up (on top of probably hundreds of smaller services, golf clubs, local news, charities, etc), and definitely without ever clicking a link in an activation email I didn't sign up for. The latter of which I can't delete, nor change my username, effectively burning that email address for that service. I'm sure those named services have since fixed that, but that it was ever an issue in the last 15 years baffles me. Nowadays I use my own domains for email, so it matters less, but I wish even confirming emails at all for services was more enforced. I'm sure this is all rooted in services wanting to grow their "user"base rather than have real users.
