Just an addition: I couldn't move around so I wanted to create a dummy account on an old Android device however it asked for a phone number to complete the creation so it didn't worked. Later I remembered that I already had one from years ago. Had to guess a password but finally found it. That account doesn't have a phone number or any other identification. Tried that with having yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox --limit-rate 5M --sleep-requests 1 -f "bestvideo[height<=1080]+bestaudio/best[height<=1080] these parameters, basically tried to mimic a streaming here. Because if I continue as usual, they probably would ban this account as well. Will see I guess. Gotta go continue to download my educational videos.

    Heh, I forgot Skiff even existed, haven't heard that name for years.

    I actually haven't tried signing up with a different provider but I suspect they still ask for a phone number? The device I tried it is an old phone so probably that didn't work because of it. I might try with an old Google tablet again if I need further. I created the one I'm using with that last time. Though it was at least 6 years ago.
