What are my best options to create & use Youtube / Instagram accounts in a private way? I tried creating accounts on both platforms with a cock.li email, but I always get stuck on phone verification. I obviously don't want to use my personal phone number & temporary sms Services that I tried are blocked for account registration. Can I just buy these accounts & use them via a VPN (for example Mullvad)? In this case, a problem would be that the account is most likely linked to phone number that I don't have control over, so I will probably have issues with 2fa. I bought a Mullvad token via Amazon & I know this is not the most anonymous solution, but its a lot better then just using my public IP, personal email & phone number.
Another thing I want to use are AI Chat bots that are less restricted / censored than ChatGPT, Claude etc & don't require personal information. I think you can use grok without login, but there is still the issue of restriction. Thanks :)
Ok so for youtube you can use Invidous, so no need for accounts, no ads and its basically not sending personal data. For phone try to get a sim card without KYC, some local shops to and depends on where you live. Buying Mullvad token via amazon already was a bad step. You can buy Mullvad via cash from them so. And for AI Chatbots idk most dw have been down and i dont really know whats going on in that space so cant help. For emails keep in mind if it really needs to be private only use email providers which can be accessed via Tor and never access the Email otherwise.
Since Invidious has already been mentioned, I just wanted to include NewPipe as an Android option here as well. No ads and videos can be easily downloaded.
Finding chatbots is going to be difficult, especially ones that aren't censored. You can try out duck.ai (from DuckDuckGo) or Luma (from Proton). You may like those companies or not, your choice.

I will try NewPipe out aswell. Need to move to GrapheneOS first tho.
Didn't hear of Luma yet, thanks!

Open a GMAIL account from a new phone and it won't ask for your phone number.
