At the end of the day, if authorities want you they will find you even with alias emails. The trick is to cause mischief but not break the law. This way you can say controversial things and it isn't easily traced back to your real identity, which would harm your IRL reputation.

I’m not doing anything illegal , I’m just curious because I know employers have software that can look up emails and accounts that are attached to it. Would an Alias prevent that? Or would it expose me?

I don’t know if you know specifically, just asking because if you do, I’d love to know

I'm not 100% sure, but I think if you use your Google or Apple account to sign in to others services, then yes they might be able to look that up. If your recovery email on the alias is one of your official emails, there might be ways to connect them.

I feel like Aliases are useless but I still use them because if they’re not, I’d rather be right than wrong you know?
