"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.

the industry term for this ive heard tossed around is "checkpointing", as in, your account has been checkpointed.
i decided when my first social account was checkpointed, i would turn around and stop using the service.
and that is the story of how i got off all meta products, left twitter, left microsoft, and am a few steps away from de-googling all but one official account i will keep isolated for very specific tasks. i might even get rid of it, eventually.
checkpoints are gates to enter walled gardens. the walls will only ever get higher and more hostile to crossing until it becomes obvious to all users they are prisons.
viewed in this way, they are training you by helping you learn where you don't really want to end up. and this will be the easiest moment to transition elsewhere. the stakes will only increase.
