      I mean, if they’re burner email addresses, fake names etc. provided to take advantage of promotions - then it really doesn’t matter.

      If anything, it’s a good thing to salt the dataset to make it less valuable to would-be ne’er-do-wells.

          The optimist in me would like to think that a significant portion of them would be ‘dead’ emails, as kids would have used cringey addresses like xX_sephir0th_Xx@hotmail.com (I know I did! 😅); but honestly - given how pervasively online Gen Z/A are (and relatively tech illiterate), they’re probably almost all valid addresses.
