I was going to sign in on Youtube this morning but it said I can no longer sign in without a google account. I had to make and link the google account with my youtube account. But the only account verification is a cell phone text message. Not email. I dont have a cell phone and I'm not planning to get one. Who thought this one up!? Now I cant read comments or post more videos!

I had to do that... I didn't have to verify it though. I now can post videos that're half an hour long, though, so that's an upside.

How did you do that. If that's not the case how did it happen?

A cell phone text is required to assure that you are not a spambot.

They should also let you verify by calling them.

If the email is full of spam you are a spambot
so why no email

bump. But I have my account back! Here's a procedure of what I did to do this.

1. Wait for a time my parents arent in the house (they may find it unconfortable for number 3)
2. Make a google account
3. Verify by phone call
4. Get the phone and type the desired code
5. Confirm the google account and link with youtube one
6. DONE

That's awesome!

Sorry you had to do that much to use it, though...
