Depends on your area so make sure to double-check. Many (most?) BTMs only require KYC for larger amounts. e.g. buying $800+ might require KYC, buying less than $800 may only require text message verification. For text messages you can buy a temporary burner phone with cash, or if you're lucky you can find a SMS service that works with the BTM - just be aware most BTMs don't work with virtual SMS phone numbers.
Or your other option is maybe buy bitcoin via cash by mail, some crypto trading websites/platforms offer that.
Or going non crypto you could technically just purchase a pre-paid credit card with cash, you'd just need to make sure the card would work with whatever services you are subscribing to.
Cash is still more anonymous than cryptocurrency, I suppose you can ask the services you're subscribing to if they accept cash by mail (I don't know of any offhand).
PS - Not sure if your post is breaking rules here, this Lemmy instance is anti-cryptocurrency and does have a rule forbidding crypto shill topics. But it might be okay if you're just asking a general question.

I buy BTC on ATMs without KYC (1000 bucks is the KYC limit). Scan your wallet, $$$ in, that's it. Fees are around 8%.
