> I’ve written this. My goal of 2024 is to remove all emails, alerts, notifications that don’t truly deserve my attention.

Me too. Even "We updated our T&Cs" is too many.

I went on an account deleting spree:

* accounts where guest checkouts are an option: eBay, Mouser, bandcamp, booking.com

* accounts of once-used online stores

* old email accounts

* Amazon, Airtasker, Uber, frequent flyer, ...

I'm down to ~100 passwords in my password manager which is still too many, but good enough.

Sometimes I wonder if T&C updates are just made to remind you you're in their system. I don't read them (except for work stuff, of course) so I probably wouldn't ever notice if anything actually changed.
