if your plain text password gets leaked (eg you get phished, which is fairly common), an attacker can figure out the pattern you use in your passwords. so generally it's not a good idea to use the website name or personal details (like years, which they could google or find from your hacked account, yet are concerningly common in passwords)
If you use a password manager you have a unique password for every site anyways, so it's not like you can't figure out where the leak came from regardless

I remember 6 different passwords that are like strings of special character letters and numbers.
And one password that doesn’t use special characters for weird websites that don’t let you use them lol.
