I do the more less the same as you, the bare minimum of protecting my data that would actually have any impact at all (banks, whatsapp, etc.) and nothing bad has ever happened -- I'm yet to see what will happen if my email gets leaked someday (if not already!) by any EvilCorp

dang is a mod—as far as I'm aware, they are the mod. When a previously-covered story crops up again, they typically add a comment like this with links to previous discussions, so you can easily see what was said before.
