What are the benefits of using those sites?

I’ve heard Yahoo! is good for stock market trading and financial news, but haven’t heard anything else about any of them.

When I hear somebody who has a Yahoo account, I kind of look at them funny and do not send them anything that’s important because if they are likely to use Yahoo, then they probably don’t have very good security practices.

I use both Yahoo and Gmail, but I prefer yahoo because my account is grandfathered in to using disposable email accounts.

And don’t tell me about username+spam@gmail.com because not every website accepts emails with + in them, and any idiot can run a script to strip it off and get your real email address.

I use this feature all the freaking time and Gmail offers nothing close.

I used to use Proton and simple login for this but I now own my own domain so I can use whatever address I want as long as it ends with @mydomain.com

I’m too cheap for this, I guess (proton mail is paid, right?).

I don’t really have a need for my own domain. And anything I want to register seems to be taken anyway. Feels like a bigger decision than picking a tattoo. :D
