So get an adblocker and don't care if they use your email to send you ads you'll never see?

OK, sounds good to me. But how does that mitigate any of the concerns people seem to have with online privacy/tracking?

So the vast majority of concerns should be mitigated by an adblocker, according to you.

And if you're that worried about privacy, use a new email for everything you sign up to. With password managers like Bitwarden there's no worry of forgetting passwords, or remembering which password goes with which account.
