Everybody is always saying to churn by sweeping the coin. Makes sense, works neatly to keep coins apart. But my thinking is when sweeping your tx only has 1 output. As most transactions have at least a second output for change, doesn’t this make a sweep tx look like a high probability churn in the blockchain?
All monero transactions now have two outputs at least, even sweep txs.
All transactions have at least two, so transactions with change will have 3. or A second bogus output is added only if needed to shield 1 output transactions from standing out. ?
No. Regular payment transactions with change also have two.

I would say better to pay more attention to inputs and input aggregation and to avoid it if possible.
Right thanks. I buy small amounts of XMR whenever I have to spare and have lots of inputs. What exactly is visible when aggregating those if different sub addresses were used for all? Is it smart churn all inputs individually one time first before aggregating?
