The apple one is enforced by apple if you want to go on the app store. The rest follows. Personally I blame apple for starting this bullshit.
Then you’re an uninformed fool.
Apple’s presence is good because it’s a privacy anonymizing service that obscures your email and forwards anything to an email of your choice and logins/connections can be deleted at any time.
And it was introduced in response to the long existing proliferation of login with Google and Facebook and similar schemes. They forced it using their App Store because otherwise no company would go for the user identity obfuscation over the already existed for years privacy invasive alternatives. Apple came late and forced companies to allow their privacy obfuscation alternative. Note: though it often is more private some sites can request additional data from Apple same as from Google and Facebook such as your name. Apple is no worse and often better overall as a choice just the same.
I’m sorry that you feel the need to attack me personally to defend a faceless trillion dollar corporation that’s “having your best interest at heart”
Let’s lay out the facts:
The worst login option is Google and Facebook, because they don’t allow creating separate accounts without identity verification by phone number or by connecting a phone with Google services. For now, other services still allow creating an account without linking your identity, but that won’t last long 😢
Because data collection. Trade simplicity for data collection.
Can I log in via dick cage?
I guess the silver lining is ya can get 7 months of any “1 month free” subscription without having to create a new account.
