Youtube requiring cell phone to create account now
Does anyone know if this is only "sometimes" or is this for any account that someone tries to make. So far I made two accounts and both needed phone verification. I guess I'll change my IP soon and try again. Wow that would suck!

I don't believe it's 100% yet.
But it could be coming, who knows. There's already quite the market growing for Youtube PVAs. -
you can use any google account for youtube
google doesnt require a cell phone number
you can work the rest out.........Comment

Some IP ranges are PVA only as far as I can tell. Some people are forced into PVA, some are not. i don't know for sure, but I'm assuming it is based on specific IP ranges. probably just testing the waters for PVAs in certain regions. Same way CL slowly worked PVA only accounts into certain areas of their directory. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes widespread for YT to require PVAs from more and more regions. Facebook has been doing the same thing. I suppose it slows some spam down, but in general all it will do is create a big underground market for verified accounts.
You'd think Google would have learned that lesson for CL. You can't stop the spam machine once it gets rolling. At least not with a puny attempt like phone verification.Last edited by Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life; 02-25-2010, 11:14 PM.Comment

if they will require it, it will be quite the list of cell #'s they will have for data miningSince 1999: 69 Adult Industry awards for Best Hosting Company and professional excellence.

Smart idea for both data mining purposes as well as keeping multiple accounts to a minimum.

Could be a good thing. Craigslist is the same way to help with the spam.Comment

It didn't happen this time under a new IP. Their FAQ says "you may see this verification from time to time" so I believe its not a regular thing yet.Comment

Google did it to me about a month ago too but not on another account I created since. The gmail account that wanted to text me was made as a direct sign up but the one that didn't ask for a phone number was off an invitation link. Not sure how it will solve any problems as my phone is pay-as-you-go and never had to be registered to anybody although I suppose they could limit the number of accounts a single phone number could verify.Code:From: Google Sent: 18-Jan_10 16:23 Your Google verification code is 560281

Good thing is that copyright holders can now request cell phone numbers too of the uploaders of their copyrighted material, not just IP addresses.
Might stop some fucks loving to share what's not their..
