An account doesn't take up much space unless mk messed up the database design. I don't think a shared throwaway will work for very long. Someone will just change the password.

I doubt it does. But it does inflate user stats and do nothing useful for the site. If someone changes the password, then it's no big loss. Let's just see what happens.

PLUS! How cool would it be to follow the account that everyone uses as a throwaway?

An interesting idea but as I see the thing, my feed would contain nearly all tags as nearly all active Hubskiers (I hope I typed it right), who wrote recent posts know for this throwaway. So following would be worth as an experiment, but probably create a clone of global. But hey, I'm open for experiments!
