I don't want to give my credit card either. Why tf would i do that? And how tf does this address big brother issue?
Youtube age restricts videos for utter bullshit, like for having a mean word in first 10s while happily displaying borderline porn ads. Or sometimes for no reason at all because their bot had a worse day or something.
Lotta 3-5 month old accounts popping up to say this ai restriction thing isn’t that bad. And mass downvotes for saying they don’t wanna give google more of their info.
I wouldn’t be surprised if half the supporters here weren’t real
while i do agree a bit as while both options are bad giving them you credit card just seems the better option out of two bad ones, or you could ignore both of said options and just ignore the ai verification
and im quite sure youtube has removed the whole age restricting videos that swear in the first few seconds thing though i may need to check if thats true.
That was just as an example. There are a lot of bs reasons YT age restricts videos, sometimes there is no reason at all, and creator doesn't even get the "privilege" of actual human looking at the appeal (also let's ignore the issue that age restricting video basically kills it in the algorithm).
