You know who actually sells your data? The senators and congressmen who are constantly going on about how Google and Facebook are selling your data. I've donated a small amount to many campaigns, and I always use a different email address for each one since I own my own domain with a catch-all. A few months or a year later, I get emails from groups like "stop republicans" or from local campaigns in states I don't care about to elizabethwarren@[mydomain.com]. And I only have used that email once to donate to Elizabeth. And it's not just one politician, it's all of them. Even ones we feel are so idealistic, like my Andrew Yang donation that I did based on his Reddit plea now receives emails targeted to my demographic about how it's my fault the democrats will fail to stop Trump, or lose California, or whatever. Financial companies also sell my data. I get phishing emails to turbotax2014@[mydomain.com] which is what I used to file that year's taxes. [Edit: in retrospect, this one is probably just a hack or incompetence rather than intentional selling] And which emails have never been sold or given out? The ones I use for Google or Facebook. Never in the past 15 years.
