KYC is not the only reason why to avoid antpool, there fee structure is scammy at best, while their FPPS fee is normal (4% which is the norm today), their PPLNS fee is sold as "free" when in fact, they keep 100% of the fee rewards, so in most cases, you end up paying a lot more fees than mining on another PPLNS pool, so be careful when you chose your payout method, never do PPLNS with Antpool.
