Touché. But it's certainly leagues more "everyone" today than it was yesterday. It used to require arcane knowledge of deep Discord server bot navigation. I gave up after 20 minutes and never figured it out. Today I tried it in seconds.

I have about 40+ google accounts for reasons, so I don't begin to understand the aversion some have to registering a burner google/discord/facebook/etc account under their hampster's name, but many of my closest friends are just like you so I respect it anyway, whatever principle it is.

Maybe because several of those tend to ask for phone verification nowadays, and phone burner services tend to either not work or look so shady it looks like a major gamble to give them any payment information?


Where do you quickly get burner phone numbers for registration ?



The reviews don’t inspire any confidence.


why do you need a phone number for a google account?


Because Google asks for it to let you register.


Really? Wow. I have like 20 gmail accounts. I guess I got them before they started requiring phone numbers.


Do you use all 20 regularly? Because if you don’t, there’s a chance that next time you try to login to one of them on the web they’ll ask you to add a phone number and not let you continue until you do. But if you have them setup in an email client, it should still work.
