Not really. Hasn’t been since the beginning of email addresses. Because email addresses aren’t required to link to a personal identity. They’re just email addresses.
Until the day an email address require personal identification, it’s not something you need to protect as private information.
Emails are personal data and are not allowed to be shown without specifically opting in for it. In Europe at least. Same for IP. This is also why when you “Recover Password” it will say something like “if this email address is found we’ll send you a mail”. So nobody can just check if an email exists on the service.
That has less to do with customer privacy and more to do with competitors exfiltrating your email lists. They aren’t doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.
Depends on your personal acceptable levels of spam in your inbox, I suppose. Thus the common “junk email” and “good email I actually use” scheme many people today rely on. One of those emails I’ll give out, the other is a closely guarded secret only available to a select few. I actually have a middle ground too of “not junk, but I don’t know these people IRL,” too.
Funny because of the “not a paywall” on the article which the intent is to force the user into providing their email address to read the entire article.
Oh no, won’t someone think of the email addresses?!
Guys. IP addresses, and email addresses…aren’t really private things.
Sure, but your registration of it with a website is generally expected to be.

It’s hard to find an email service that doesn’t ask for a phone number now a days. Even shit ass Proton mail does it now
Not everyone throws their E-Mail at every Text field they see.

Idk, being that “that’s so they can sell your email,” I’m inclined to argue that it is a paywall, the currency is just “email” not “USD.”
The entire point of a web browser is to allow scum to:
endlessly throw loginwalls and paywalls at us
load dodgy third party sites libraries
insisting on kyc as an act to show and display continuous acts of compliance
So not surprising the linked site has either a login or paywall.
Forcing a phone number is kyc. kyc is obnoxious.
