I don't think this is true for YouTube - you need a Google account, and you can't create a Google account without verifying your phone number. (Unless you can create numerous accounts with one phone number? But that seems like an easy loophole to close.)
- mywittyname 5y agoI have multiple Google accounts on one phone number. I'd probably leave google if that limitation were put in place.
- Tijdreiziger 5y agoA limitation of, say, 10 accounts for one phone number doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
- ziml77 5y agoGoogle does let you create multiple accounts with a single phone number. There's legitimate reasons to have multiple email addresses. I have a handful of different ones that I use for different identities I have online.
