@TechConnectify When I first used the internet, any website that required your name, address, or credit card number was shady by default.
Now it's the status quo to add your phone number or at least your real name and birthday to get basic service.
I still tend to avoid those platforms while my significant other embraces them and our internet experience couldn't be any more different.
