I've used Twitter from 2013 to 2021, and have eventually been locked-out by Twitter requesting a phone number with no way to work around.

It'll be a shame if that happens to my account, as I lurk on Twitter every day (but never tweet or like), but I value privacy of my phone number more than I value the enjoyment I get from it.
