People that still use Yahoo!, Hotmail, AOL, or similar, why? - eviltoast

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.

      If you have used your mail for over a decade it’s very easy to get over 130 accounts.

      I have over 480 items in my password manager. Not all are unique accounts but most are

          I don’t believe they were referring to unique email accounts, but to unique accounts in their password manager.

          Which means a few hundred accounts to move to a new email address.

          The reason I use Proton is to have a unique email for every account that cannot be used to find my original email address, and that I can delete at a moments notice if said email somehow gets on a spam list. Nobody except me knows my main account email. The + method does nothing for me.
