I mean, finding ways around that is the whole point of Posts like this one?
Personally, I use different browsers for different purposes on a rando Android phone(+vpn for torrents). I watch this community to try to stay abreast of current privacy/security issues, but I don’t make much effort to live it, as I’ll go dark long before I’ll really have anything to hide.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go bitch at the librarians again, for disposing of the microfiche after they digitized it.
Don’t they require a phone number now?
Bunch of services out there offering Free SMS Numbers for 2FA. You might also try searching “Burner SMS”, but anyways, there are options.
Do you have a link?
For one I trust? Never actually used one, sorry. I’ve used faxburner, for faxing, without issue, but it doesn’t look like they offer SMS.
Would using these service be a risk if you lose access to such number?
burner SMS. Burner dummy Google account strictly for age-restricted content. I don’t really see what’s to lose?
Also, you can turn off 2FA, so the number is only “needed” if you forget your password and/or lose access to the backup e-mail.
I see, notes.
Wouldn’t Google tie the dummy account to your KYC’d account tho?

Late to the conversation but maybe consider https://invidious.io/ or https://docs.piped.video/ - also for an easy to use desktop client there is https://freetubeapp.io/ which utilizes invidious/piped API’s.
Personally I host invidious on a separate machine and route that machine to a VPN my other devices do not use.
