*every* time we want to check out a new twitch streamer, *every* time, they have that setting on that means we have to give twitch our phone number before we're allowed to say anything

@trysdyn there needs to be a better solution to this
why haven't we seen it from any of the people we've been watching for a while?

@trysdyn like is this a new thing that only started in the last couple weeks or something because this has only been happening for a few weeks but it's *every* stream other than ones we were already watching before this started

@trysdyn i'm mostly just frustrated because this is making things difficult for us as part of a bad solution to a problem that shouldn't exist, that only exists because some people are just awful people, and that this is the solution they give feels like they're using it as an excuse to farm more data and it's just, ugh
everything about it is bad

@trysdyn i have to wonder how much it even helps the problem

@trysdyn "machine learning" aka "we can't be held liable if it doesn't work"
