> 2: when you must use google, make separate, carefully unconnected accounts for each project.

How can one make this advice actionable? Creating new Google accounts requires providing a phone number to which one has long-term access (as they will sometimes require you to do SMS 2FA, even with 2FA off, when logging in). Using one on a different Google account links them (and could cause multiple accounts to get nuked), and you can't use a Google Voice number.

For some things I've taken to buying "aged" Google accounts on forums when I need true non-linkability, but in general this is an unsolved problem. I'd lose several accounts simultaneously if I hit the big G's antispam, as I've had to reuse some phone numbers several times.

If you have a business you get a separate phone number for it, and potentially for each customer project. You can reuse it when the project is done, or it makes it easy to hand off the amount, assets etc to the customer.

What I do is use my gf's number (so occasionally I have to ask her for the code that shows up on her phone :-) ). I am fortunate not to use google for anything I care about, or even much at all, so this is no inconvenience for me; OTOH she not only keeps everything in google but used to work there.

Would you be willing to share your resource for 'aged' accounts? Email is in profile if you'd prefer to send a private message.

In the past I have used the BitMarket subreddit for the purpose.

I also have a standing open offer of personal proxy for creating accounts for people for personal, non-shady use:
