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?
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.
Haha
Cheers!
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 an invidious instance on a separate machine and route that machine to a VPN my other devices do not use.
