I think the first time someone had the idea of doing this to verify if you are not a bot is on YouTube 4-5 years ago (I'm not sure)

At least YouTube allows you to verify without giving any sort of data

If you upload on youtube then you need a google account. Which requires a phone number on a real smartphone.
