Same, but I did this long before the current tracking nightmare. That's the whole FUN of "cyberspace": you can create and destroy identities at will, which means you can experiment. Even better, you can live out multiple lives simultaneously to some degree, like multi-threading code.

Realistically, on the modern net you need to: Use a VPN, kill cookies and ads aggressively, have multiple accounts (or avoid logging on at all in some cases), and never, ever use 2FA except with financial institutions. That's the bare minimum. No point in just complaining that tech companies are evil all the time. The smart organism adapts to its environment, and uses the tools at hand.
