mesaYouTube Rolling Out AI Age Verification to New Batch of Users
YouTube expands age verification to more users. Several users are reporting on Reddit seeing new restrictions being applied to their accounts.
DFX4509BOne more reason to use an alt front-end, and clear/disable your watch/view history and not log into YT directly anymore, at least assuming Google don’t login-wall all of YT.
I don’t think you bypass the age checks with the alternative front-ends? I’ve been using FreeTube for some time, and whenever there has been an 18+ video, I would not be able to view it as I would not pass the age check. If this is a more general check that is being rolled out, I guess there will be less and less videos that will work through these.
I think I need to start hoarding video tutorial series and self-host them. Would something like TubeArchivist be my best bet for that?
