What the eff Youtube?

Why the hell is youtube now requiring me to put my phone number in. I was trying to make an account on youtube for my class, and I at first used my live.com account, and then it made me create a google account, and now when I try to create a youtube channel it says I must verify my account. I tried changing my email but it keeps ******* with me. Can someone help?

@Andres Jr. Sosa Dinguis, Oh yes of course I should trust my phone number to some company. What the **** do they want my phone number for? If you want to play blind mouse go head. I have my eyes open and am not giving my information to some company so they do whatever the hell they want with it. Phone numbers have a lot of info tied to it. And you don't think it would still be possible to hack accounts? You want the government to know everything about you, but I don't.

@Everyone, Nevermind I found a way around it.

Just put the damn phone number and stop whining! Youtube does this for safety matters, back in the day Youtube accounts were easy to hack and what not!


@EDIT: The government have been knowing everything about you since the day you came out of your mother. If you put the number, all you going to get is either a text if you do it from your cell, or a operator phone call if you do it from your homephone telling you like 5 digits (letters and numbers) to put in and THAT'S IT! IT'S NOT LIKE YOUR PUTTING YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER YOU SILLY GOOSE.
