Ah, see, I always viewed the latter option as terribly unsafe. If one is compromised, then the attacker has access to a wide range of services as the function is obvious.

But thanks for reminding me to set up a pass manager :)

It is slightly more secure than using the exact same password everywhere, as when one site is compromised, the password can be put in a wordlist for brute forcing or hash cracking.

So instead of using ThisIsAPassword for every site, you have a slight variation but it is still extremely convenient to remember it.
