I sign into my well used, very comfortable YouTube account... | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34963435  United States03/29/2013 05:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Only to find that I *simply must* give my phone number and receive a call from Google if I ever want to be able to use my YouTube account again... Quoting: Mister Obvious Well guess what YouTube... I couldn't fucking care less, and furthermore, I will have no need for a YouTube account again at any point in the future. Go fuck yourselves real deep and hard and think of me. Lol though haven't gotten the YouTube notification, yet. Though are you a regular member or partner? And even if I got the notification and couldn't access my account, not a big deal if I only couldn't comment and can still view videos I guess. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 36989393 United States03/29/2013 05:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | True. Chris Crocker use to get 100k+ views for video. Now he only gets 30k views if he's lucky. There will be an alternative 'YouTube' brought into the spotlight soon... or maybe a single social networking site where all these things are combined (social networking, video uploading, pic hosting). Quoting: Mister Obvious Try Vimeo.com |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34963435 United States03/29/2013 05:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow. This is different than the normal backup email/cell phone thing in gmail right? I always just click "save" on that without filling anything out and it goes right on through! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36452782 Indeed, yes this is a different screen. I always cruise by that one too. But this, unfortunately, gives no options but to give your phone number and receive a text, or a call. Thanks :) I refuse to give my number out to any site. Quoting: ClassicalConspiracy Why all of the sudden are they requiring all this? Google, acquiring all the most popular sites, and forcing them all together into one base... and identifying anyone who wants to use their service(s) badly enough. Just the NWO coming to the internet... we've seen it heading this way for a long time. You know what, I even have a 'fake phone' that I bought for just this purpose. However... I absolutely refuse to go through this step with this account, on principle alone. I'd rather never sign into YouTube again... And let's face it, it's not like I ever signed in very often anymore anyway... Everyone on YouTube has seen their views sink like a lead balloon... There will be an alternative 'YouTube' brought into the spotlight soon... or maybe a single social networking site where all these things are combined (social networking, video uploading, pic hosting). But I have no use for it... this is exactly why I purchased my own website, VPS, and threw FFMPEG on it so I could upload videos to my own fucking site... and not have to worry about bullshit YouTube censorship. The last YouTube channel I made was a channel for my kitty... I put up a very adorable video immediately. The next morning the channel had been removed for "multiple copyright infringements" which was a total lie... there was absolutely nothing that could have been copyrighted. If that's a real phone, you're either rich or stupid. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34963435 Ain't nothin' special about my account. I'm just a random chick on the interwebz trying to stay anonymous cuz I ain't causin' no harm. That's what so gestapo about all this phone verification shit... You give them the phone and receive the call, they know where you are... end of story. That is fucked up. |

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 2884401 United States03/29/2013 05:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | IMDB.com(Internet movie database) did that awhile back to me. I had to give them my cell phone or a credit card number(no shit). i figured since they are owned by amazon and Amazon has like 3 of my CC #s already I'd just go ahead and give them my CC #. They put a $1 hold that dropped off in 3 days..For me it was better than giving out my cell to 'em. Weird shit though that a movie forum wanted that kind of verification.. |

It's not like they can't find me in an instant if they need to find me.I have nothing to loose , really :) And also it's idiotic to think nowadays that you are untraceable or someone that can not be found. |
Dr. Acula Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 52191 United States03/29/2013 05:36 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | they wanna be that way with me... but i just use my google voice number to receive text verifications... dont need a phone... you can do it online. i've set up a dozen or more emails that way with one number through them. I use different emails for the different things i do... like for example... not a real email... [email protected] and that google voice number has come in handy to verify them all. _______________________  |

Maybe you guys can get on that YouTube replacement before one of our corporate oligarchs find out they need to move their complacent asses in order to innovate and stay in business. It's at this time we can over throw them if we take the initiative to create a product purely for the people as opposed to one designed to squeeze them dry. |

Apparently not.. Use a phone, computer, etc.. take a walk in a public place.. We are traced, photographed and tracked. Privacy is long gone. Unless you live under an abandoned camper in the woods, naked... the world of tomorrow is here and now. |

It is making a lot of places on the net slowly turn in to ghost towns in the last few weeks. I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |

I was like  I don't even own a cell phone...Close the page and reopened a new link to yt got right in. Then they have the new layout which suks. e-gads mate! Spirituality is the opposite of religion, religion is a substitute for spirituality. Spirituality is a direct connection to Creator The Most high. Anyone who inflicts pain on others will suffer themself from that pain. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. |
