Signups in most platforms are quite hard. Straight up give your phone and do SMS verification, or at least give email and to register that email you will have to provide phone anyway. Captchas nowadays became so hard that even humans struggle with them and it often takes multiple attempts to get it right.

Honestly if any site demands my phone number it can get fucked.
