It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

or even pseudo-incriminated for attempting to maintain our own life.

It seems so stupid that I'm like a suspect for wanting an exchange of information without dropping my pants and bending over. No, I don't want cookies. Yes I want to read the article but no, I don't want to "sign up."

It makes me feel like being a f*cking hermit. But I prefer to pirate. Even though I'm not that good at it. Screw them. I got two private trackers, a VPN, and I hope that's enough.

Worse is when you have to justify your view on privacy to family and friends.

How do I set up a YouTube account anonymously?

I want to use revanced and figured setting up a youtube account not attached to my Gmail is a good idea. But they require a phone number.

But if I'm using an android maybe it doesn't matter anyway and Google will know I'm not looking at their ads? If they want to delete me Gmail and whatever I'm sure they could right?

Can you set up a Google voice number for this purpose?

Google voice also requires a number, but I was able to buy one of those shady sim cards to make a Google voice number. The shady sim card stopped working when I used it with a VPN, but I already signed up for some stuff with it that blocks Google voice like ChatGPT
