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.

For those who wanna shell out some money:

textverified.com

Pricing is likely a little higher than the lowest price they show. Expect a couple bucks or something after making a purchase of like… five bucks or so.

Apparently Monero is accepted.

(They have plenty of competitors and some might be cheaper or not require purchasing a balance.)
