I was trying to airplay a video to my tv, just like I did for hours last night, and YouTube kept demanding that I login to prove I’m not a bot. So I figured I would make a fake login on Proton. That worked fine, but then it wants to text me for verification and obviously I do not want to give them my number, but it’s rejecting every number I try from the temp number sites.

I am in Safari for iPad in a private window, using vinegar.

I switched it on and off, and changed countries, etc. It was very frustrating. I’m just going to download the ASMR stuff I like, I think. And not deal with these shenanigans.

Should download asmr in general. Youtube seem like delete/strike/demonetize lot of asmr creator.
