Terrible advice, you deny yourself the best tool you have against this, curating your watch history.

—- Person 1: phone is constantly being harassed by spammers and scammers with spoofed numbers, calling person 1 by name, mentioning their make and model of car, etc.

Person 2: doesn’t own a phone —-

Person 2 is better off. I think it’s pretty good advice.

What, I have never been harrased by callers because I have my phone registered on youtube/google.

EDIT: Also you can skip adding your phone number to google:
