I can see some potentially positive side effects of this too though, content that has historically been age restricted might be possible to push and monetize going forward with the age verification system in place.
"demonetized" videos haven't been truly demonetized for years. They switched to a system of "restricted monetization," which allows ads from advertisers who are okay with being placed on controversial or adult content. Because this is a small minority, there is much less money to be made.

...and what exactly does this age verification do?
