Just use temporary email addresses. Fastmail generates them for free with a button click, and doesnt share your real email.

i have no proof, but im semi sure that this way you cannot sign up with a temp mail or temp sms, so you are kinda forced to use your real data, which means the site is selling your data

You can generate one-time-use email addresses by using the little-know mailbox field of the email address format:
kepix+you_can_write_anything_here_and_it_will_reach_your_inbox@gmail.comObviously this will not fool a human being into thinking you are a different person, but I have never encountered authentication code that two mailboxes at the same address to be the same person. This is useful for identifying the source of data breaches, when you start getting phishing attacks at your “kepix+reddit.com@gmail.com” address, and makes it trivial to train your spam/important filters.
