Interesting, could be because it's something you've had to do often enough that they're trying to rate limit you

Gotta be honest, I am kind of curious to try this.

Hm I have made at least 3 gmail addresses and didn't have to do this. And in fact their apps support account switching pretty easily, which seems to indicate that they don't really disapprove of making multiple accounts.

In fact the only thing they asked for was a backup email address in case you get locked out or they need to send security alerts, and that was optional.

Wait - what kind of proof of identity do Gmail, outlook, Yahoo, etc require to make an email address?

Is this a bad thing? I thought kind of, curating who you associate with is one of the benefits
