Damn, is it really like that now? I created my accounts for IG, Google, Discord, years ago and without a number. I refuse to provide it when they ask now and never had an issue.
Lately IG won't even let me log in wihout confirming my phone number so I've just stopped using it.
Same here, even worst if they detect you are using a VPN, they tag the account directly. This is the main issue in all services nowadays
