Maybe it's an intelligence test: if you supply them, you're too dumb for the job.

    I used to use fuckoff@aol.com or fuckyou@aol.com whenever some page forced an email address for access. Sadly, those don't seem to work anymore, so I've transitioned to getfucked@hotmail.com or if I'm feeling spicy I just feed them whatever email address I can find listed on their own site.

    I usually just do "marketing@sitename" for whatever site it is. Let marketing sort out their own spam. Sometimes I'll just do "postmaster@sitename" or "admin@sitename" but marketing is usually my go to.

    Many forms simply do the most basic regular expression possible of looking for alphanumberic characters with an @ sign before a period somewhere in the mix, so you can enter entirely nonexistent domains, but some are a little more in-depth

    So?

    They can require these things all they want, the correct reply is N/A or / - meaning "I don't have an Instagram or a Tiktok account" (and if you do have accounts, it's not a crime to pretend you don't).

    And that should be the correct reply for a decent employer to rate the candidate above those who stupidly provide the information.

    Conversely, if the employer thinks not having social media accounts is a minus, it's probably not an employer you want to work with anyway.
