You need a G-mail account for youtube now?

Update your YouTube account by linking to a Google Account
You will no longer be able to sign in to YouTube without a Google Account.
If you do not want to link this YouTube account, you can sign out here.


and to get this gmail e-mail you need to use ur telphone number to make the account active.?

so not fair.

Hmm that's strange.

Happily, I have them both...But it sounds odd. Who could even OBLIGE you to have two E-mails accounts if you wouldn't like to?

...and a telephone number? Fishy.

Well I did it when I first signed up and it was fine for me. They just SMS you a verification code.

Yeah, asking for a phone number doesn't sound right to me. That screams attempted identify theft to me.

yeah,so now i can't use youtube.

I linked my Youtube account to Gmail (even if I don't want to) and I could use it without problem, but they didn't asked any telephone number. I think they can't force people to do what they wants to. This is a violation of privacy.
