> Another option is to treat online accounts as throwaway wherever possible. As much as Reddit would like to sell you gizmos for your profile, there's no benefit to the user to have an old account with lots of karma. Just keep re-rolling with strong random passwords and you have nothing to lose.

I (used to, i guess) do the same. I must have 40 accounts in total over the years. Funny enough i didn't even make a strong password - a stupidly bad one, unique for each account, actually. I had almost hoped it was hacked because it would be interesting to be hacked and not care.
