Tit-le.
Same goes for facebook and twitter
Don’t! Use an app / rss aggregator instead!
You can skip many age verification things with Piped, too
Just another chance to plug Newpipe! Shout out to all contributors ✌️✌️
You can subscribe to YouTube channels via RSS feed. Just put the channel URL into an rss reader.
I guess if you want to post videos or write comments you’d need an account though.
Voip phone service.
It’s sending audio and sms over the internet instead of over the phone lines and cell towers. There might still be free ones but you wanna anonymously send cash to a service to have several numbers you can use.
E: the solution is to buy an anonymous phone number to use.
Facebook will not send with codes to a VoIP phone. You can sign up without a phone but they will flag you as not real then force you to add a phone.
Same with all other Meta services. SMSpool or something like it will give you the codes you need at a temp number. You can’t rent numbers if you want one for longer then one time too I think.
You can make an account w/ invidious, letting you subscribe and make playlists. If you want to comment or post videos you will need a real youtube account, sadly.
Alternatively…
There are websites that offer fake phone numbers for SMS verification like this: https://www.receivesms.org/
I can’t vouch for any particular site, but that’s how I was able to create a Twitter account without using my phone.
Oh that I know!
- Sign up for Mozilla relay, free edition is enough.
- Sign up for SMSPool.net
- Install Firefox, use container tabs.
- Sign up for a VPN, I use NordVPN.
Mozilla Relay will let you create an email that just relays mail to your normal account. Its accepted on facebook.
SMSPool has a bank of non-voip numbers that you order for a single SMS code. This costs somewhere around $0.15 to $0.30. They accept bitcoin if you really want to stay anonymous.
Firefox container tabs help isolate you from leaking personal information. The Facebook container does more I think.
Facebook will aggressively monitor your account. I’m on my second suspension for not being “real”. But its easy to get around it. Well see if I get out the second time though.
VPNs will allow you to mask your location.
