Reminds me of when I joined some classmates to the supermarket. We got kicked out while waiting in line because they didn't want middleschoolers there because we're all thieves anyways. So most of the group walked out without paying.

It was interesting how random people came to talk to you and were really trying to get to know you. I don't think that would work in modern day internet.

I knew they were around because at times I randomly remembered my ICQ number and I tried logging in, but they won't let you if you forgot your password.

Years ago, Facebook kept nagging about privacy settings and almost pushed users to turn off all tracking etc.

Creating a new Google account isn't even possible without a phone number anymore. I had a new account which I didn't use in a while and it decided I need some old phone number to confirm my log in. There's no way to log in, recover or delete the account. There's no way I'm putting my daily account to that risk by giving them whatever phone number I have now
