    If you upload on youtube then you need a google account. Which requires a phone number on a real smartphone.

      I certainly don’t have my phone number associated with my Google account. Maybe grandfathered in, though?

        Not sure but you can try to make an account if you want but it asks you for a phone number and it pops up a button to send some system request to the phone so it’s not even a regular sms message it like sends it through some kind of system api

          That sounds like a 2 step auth for logins they’ve been doing for a while. I might have made a new burner email last year and it asked for absolutely no real information.
