"Please doxx yourself to continue"

For the longest time it would force me to log in to watch "restricted" videos, but now that's not enough.

It gave me a fourth option of "verify by email address" but that didn't work.

How do they stop you from uploading a photo of a random person?

I believe when this sort of thing was first rolled out in the UK people were successfully using pictures of Norman Reedus in Death Stranding, not sure if it still works or not.

i tried using a random picture and it worked at first, but couldnt get past the second phase.

Nowadays it requires a video of doing certain random actions. Not impossible to fake but much harder.
