I tried to start a twitter account, a few minutes later I got blocked: https://imgur.com/suSH1Qn

I didn't tweet anything, just followed some people I found interesting.

I don't want to verify my phone number. Fuck you twitter.

I haven't been able to create a Twitter account for over a year now. Home IP.

(Not giving Twitter my phone number)

I think it's deliberate b/c bots seem to be exempt from this phone number requirement.

Yeah exactly, is registering an account really automated behavior? It's so obvious they just want my phone number and they are never getting it.

Twitter is dying anyway, at least that is the feeling I have about the website.
