I fuckin’ signed in to YouTube with my existing account damn it
Trust me, Google already knows your home address.
This was fun when my business address was some office I’d never been to.
Just enter
127.0.0.1
There’s a shit ton of new regulations and they’re probably trying to figure out what filters and shit to apply to which viewers
They don’t even pretend it’s for security reasons and just admit it’s for ads 🤣
More like asking you to confirm what they already know.
Yeah, ridiculous isn’t it.
Recently validated data has more value tho
Skip
We may not always have that option…
What kind of bullshit is this?
God, I dislike Google so much. Funny to remember that once their motto used to be, “Do no evil.” Ha, good times.

No, this is user error. It clearly strongly recommended you to print out your backup code when the MFA was enabled. If you forgot or ignored it and then wiped an important phone, that’s on you.

I like how you conveniently cropped out the “try another way” button:

Just click skip? They just use it for traffic notifications on maps and stuff.
But at some point, there will be no skip button. You know it, I know it, we all know it. This is like the creepy uncle who starts out by giving you candy and playing football in the yard. Then he wants you to sit on his lap before candy or football, but you can jump off whenever, until the day, he won’t let you. That is what these companies have been doing. I still remember the arm twisting they did when they took over youtube and we all liked youtube so much, we ended up giving in to it.
The end game for them is to own all your personal information and have total control over your online activity. Them giving you a skip button is a fake comfort. They probably already know where you live too.
For my part, I have just accepted that my basic bitch info is out there. Whatever I haven’t shared myself, have been shared either by a phone book service in my country or by databrokers who have sold my info to random companies and scammers.
Anonymity online is an illusion unless you are a very tech savvy which most of us are not.
You can skip that step. Not that it’s okay, tho.
For now.
