Well I agree with the open source aspect of this but they are a us company and us companies have to have some form of traceable payments or at least to attach the payments to an identity whether it be online or your real actual identity so the phone number stuff is never going away.

And I'd suspect that if they ever did accept monero or other Cryptos as payment they'd have to use a 3rd party payment system like coingate which doesn't avoid the problem of 3rd party payment processors overstepping their boundaries.

If they set it up to where they did it all themselves the IRS would almost certainly make them KYC you to accept any crypto payment.

It would still be awesome to happen though because even though it wouldn't be completely anonymous it would avoid dickhead corporations trying to control my thoughts through controlling what kind of media I can consume.
