I used a photo I found online from my local governments department of transport. The name was "Sam S. Sample" with a photo of Mr Bean. So far Reddit, discord, and pornhub have all accepted it.

I'm in my 30s but fuck giving my government ID to random American corporations with a history of data breaches.

    For nsfw subreddits/profiles, yes. But literally anyone marking their post as nsfw even to hide a spoiler would prompt the ID check making the subreddit unusable until that post was gone.

    Even in places they aren't required to take you id by law, they collect EVERYTHING about you. They know already. They know, you are the product.

    I'm aware that they collect information about me and perhaps it could be used to figure out who am I. But handing over ID is actually saying who am I, so anything I would post would be tied to my identity.

    That's still a big difference.

    Wish I could've used this method to regain OnlyFans access -- their verifier took multiple photos of my head for a 3D scan, and the site geolocks its users like Steam, so VPNs wouldn't work.
