What's with sites now requiring a phone number to create an account? I'd need to pick up a burner phone just to join steemit.

I am certainly a fan of the alternative media...
I follow this guy on youtube H.A. Goodman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rBeR2nN7N0
he is also on steemit
This one of his, is a GREAT INTERVIEW: Allen J. Cannon on U.S. Constitution and Landmark Lawsuit Involving Congress
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FULEXLa6Nnk not really his interviewing, more the guess I possibly, but it was shortly after I started watching him and when I started following. I think he was a Bernie supporter, but sounds like he is more than fine with what Trump is doing.

I like his take of the Q stuff and what I have heard from him so far, he is a self professed progressive, tosses out a little profanity with a warning first... waiting to see what progressive means to him, he seems fairly conservative with most of what I have heard so far and I agree with most everything he has said. Sometimes he likes to beat a dead horse and I have to move on, but pretty good all in all and much better information/opinion than network news.

Are you saying you do not already have several?

Because any good plan starts with a small box of burner phones ready to go.

Having to buy them on the run, per se, is not very efficient.

For just a flash I almost searched for stirfryit.com. More. Coffee. Needed. You made me laugh at myself before 0600. Nice.

Yeah, Goodman has been flocking it for some time now.

Guess I’ll have to check it out.

Ping. Interesting concept for avoiding censorship from deep state-allied social media.

Often it’s for two-factor authentication, to better protect your account.

But what you suggest isn’t a bad idea at all.

Where do you buy them that they don’t have cameras in the store and you can pay cash for the phone and some time?

TIA.

Don't need to buy a burner phone, simply open up a Google Voice account for yourself, choose a virtual phone# and use that.

Easy peasey, that's what I do. (Please don't ask me how to setup a google voice account. Google "setting up a google voice account" and follow their clear directions.)

I checked out Steemit last night. It's a little confusing, going to take some getting used to, and I don't see how their platform wouldn't censor Conservative voices as it seems they have built in capabilities to allow upvote/downvote to drown out Conservative articles anyway. I don't see much of a difference between Steemit and Reddit beyond Steemit's UI being more friendly.

Just my opinion after spending an hour on it last night.

Usually in the bodegas, or the Arabic run shops have extras in their isles. And they never seem to like the cameras.

In addition, purchasing well before any incident insures that any camera surveillance has probably been erased. The vast majority of little stores do not have the server capacity to maintain those videos for months on end. Usually they are written over within a week or so.

Low tech approach always works: wear a baseball cap and sunglasses. Don’t worry about the camera’s.

True that. It is amazing what several days without a shave and then a good clean shave will do to my face.

At least that is what the wife says!!
