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

While entertaining, the point is that they are collecting it to check the account so I could just put in some celebrity's handle and explain it later or put in gibberish and explain it later.

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.
