Sock Puppets On Parade

This is going to be a bit unusual.  For me it was actually kind of fun, the only disappointment being how easy it was.  Going through the evolution step by step:

You can’t swing a dead lorikeet in this town without hitting a sock puppet.  Whether it’s genuine or not as soon as a comment is posted from a name that nobody recognizes the first assumption is not to assume that this is in fact a real person, but to immediately accuse the newcomers  of being a sock puppet for another user.  Imagine that, paranoia.

Creating a new account is easy and I can imagine a lot of legitimate uses.  Operating a business from home making custom made hair scrunchies, you don’t want your personal mail to get bombarded with scrunch issues.  Belinda and Hugh, the newlyweds.  Hugh has his own account, Belinda has hers.  This way Hugh doesn’t see that Belinda has been getting emails from gematria websites at the shared account of hugh_belinda666@fakemail.com.

Now fast forward to the time when you couldn’t swing your dead lorikeet without a shooting hoax video being deleted by YouTube.  Eventually we got to the point where Zachary Hubbard 15 was struck twice and we were told that there would be no #16.  The reason being the friendly message shown here.

The verification phone number has been used too many times.  And as the days progressed there are  hints and advice for work arounds.  Other video services.  Nope don’t want to use them.  Here, I made an account for you and I’ll give you the log in.  No response.  My eyes saw the message about not needing a phone number and I thought, aha!  A processs I can potentially duplicate.  Which I have done because with the timing it seems like he’s looking for every excuse possible to not put videos on YouTube, a week before starting up the Patreon subscriptions.

The next step was a bit of a pain in the ass.  I duplicated the “used too many times for verification” message.  This is not, as stated, a YouTube policy but Google in general.  I already had two accounts. Finally after the tenth it told me to knock it off.  This could be because they were all created within minutes of each other or permanent.  That requires more testing later.

So now Picture this.  Hugh and Belinda have a precocious child that wants to sock puppet attack someone and uses their pc and phone.  Then with the last account being signed in was screwyougary17@gmail.com Hugh has forgotten his auto completed login and after the recovery hassle and changed password decides to create a new account for his personal use.  Is Google really going to force him to buy a new phone just to get a different number?  I don’t think so.  And hackers are usually pretty smart.  A fake phone number sounds like the kind of thing that would be done.  And that was pretty easy.

smsreceivefree.com was the first hit on a Google search of “fake phone number”.  Go through the Google account creation process, bring up the site, use one of their listed phone numbers and retrieve the verification code there.

I did get the used too many times for verification error message on the first number on their list.  When I dropped it to the bottom I was in.

Logic tells me that the error message is temporary, but that will wait for later to test.  There are only so many 10 digit US phone numbers and eventually they could all be depleted from the usefulness for verification people.

Skipping the checking for how many times I could use my phone number part, 10 minutes.  And this idea was specifically brought to his attention.  Two months later still no YouTube videos that could have been up and running with a modicum of effort.

Instead of just accusing of purposefully funneling into paying on Patreon let’s just assume enormous laziness which is just as bad.  Although new links appear on FTFM like Glass Wizzard’s Youtube channel with its one Holy Grail gematria video (only watched about 20 times) there’s lots of broken links that have never been deleted.  His own long ago deleted YouTube channel is still on Hubbard’s Google profile page.  A big deal was made about no interest being shown in getting custom made 47 themed bumper stickers when there are lots of sites available to get those.  Which we all approve of since that would be a nice warning for the “normal” people.

These guys know their sock puppets as they’re on parade every day.  And it’s hard to believe that a ten minute fix hasn’t produced a YouTube video, settling for Bitchute instead. Granted it’s longer than 10 minutes since all the hassle of reloading videos after the channel gets deleted is a big deal.  But there’s no excuse to use Google as a scapegoat for purposefully banning you from YT.  I did it, fake name, fake phone number, 10 minutes.  They don’t care who you are, they care about the content and if you’re going to play the sock puppet game they can at least try to slow the parade down after abusing the system.
