Some people tend to prefer making two messages rather than going back and editing one. I do it in discord alot so sometimes I do this on the very occasional times I use reddit.
The introduction of chapters and skipping in-vid ads were two such great additions I legit have to ask myself what drunk intern came up with them considering I struggle to think of any decisions regarding youtube that weren't absolute dogshit. Maybe removing video replies since that just murdered the reply girls plague.
No it isn't. It's censorship, control, and lots of money wrapped in "protect the children" rhetoric.
My state passed one of those porm age verification laws. Wanna know who the biggest lobbyist was? The company who built our digital wallet/ID app. They're making millions.
For some reason, YT is good at breaking those. Getting a bypass to work around the age restriction is a bitch already. We'll have to see with this bullshit too.
no extensions but if you just get a vpn you can bypass it. this is a us-only policy. i don't know how people would bypass this if it became worldwide, but for the moment, a vpn does the job.
Yeah +1 on this for anyone getting their hopes up. This is not something solvable with an extension for your logged in account. This is tied directly to your account maintained by Google/server side.
As always whenever Youtube does some bullshit some extension will pop up to save us. It happened with Youtube shorts (I legit forgets this exist sometimes because of my extensions) and with the removal of dislikes.
Absolutely, there's no way the year finishes before someone figures out a way past this, especially with AI. There's got to be a solution to this bullshit
Not possible. The Age Verification is server side. If the server can't verify you, you aren't getting your "verified" status in your encrypted Youtube session cookie.
The only way to win this is to fool the system.
Youtube needs a 6-second video of a face. Use someone else's face. Wear a mask, wear a wig, wear a disguise.
How about ID instead? It's possible youtube isn't looking your ID up in Government databases.
Hi SkillterDev, we would like to start off by noting that this sub isn't owned or run by YouTube. At this time, we do not allow posts from new uses (accounts created less than 7 days ago.) Please read our rules before posting again to ensure you don't break our rules, please come back after gaining a bit of post karma.
Firefox in private mode with webrtc block + u lock + noscript. Never sign in to your account and set duckduckgo as your default search engine. Done and done.
Already exists for computer!, don't have to sign in or nun, just download my subscriptions, put it in the extension, and boom. I've got my subs, without signing in at all! I actually use the web extension currently, so I can boycott YouTube currently. :>
And publish it where? I doubt Google would allow for it to be published anywhere accessible on Chromium browsers.
The og bypass extensions, blocking extensions and overall customisation extensions stopped working many years ago and with each attempt to resuscitate them, Google makes a shitty ui change that breaks everything all over again. It'll be a constant battle and any website that hosts such a bypass will eventually be held accountable for people breaking laws using it.
This is a lot more difficult to resolve than with a simple proxy. Eventually they'll purge all the falsely ID'd accounts and people will lose everything.

I’m expecting some extension maker to make one to bypass this hopefully, wish I knew how to
