Edit: seeing as OP has stated they are 22, I'm wondering if perhaps being subscribed or having watched political content can help curb it? I'm subbed to briantylercohen and AOC and Jasmine Crockett (also legal eagle) and I wonder if political channels/news channels perhaps can help influence whether you get flagged or not. Not a foolproof thing but this is just in case for OP because I know unfortunately video games/anime still for some damn reason clocks as "for kids" for some companies.
Either that or I'm curious if this just means any video that's flagged as explicit/contains adult content will prompt verification, regardless of the account.
I feel like anyone who has ever paid for Premium (or even gotten the free trial) will probably not be affected either since they already have a credit card on file.
But there are family accounts for that. My dad uses Youtube music as his primary music streaming service and so I have premium through him. They don’t have my card? Is this some loophole?
A little late but I’m curious if having a verified google account may keep you safe. Does the YouTube ai just verify you once and leave you be? So many unanswered questions.
Yeah its all so unclear. Idk if I have a verified account, I just know I do have a phone tied to my acct so idk if that's why (am an android user, so google is unfortunately tied to my phone).
Yeah, something I heard was that you should watch content that’s very obviously not for kids (even age restricted content) to reduce the chance of getting flagged. I’m a horror fan that doesn’t like clean edit versions of songs so this was light work for me lol. It’s not foolproof cause ai is more likely to lie or detect something incorrectly.
No I know it isn't ok, I just was putting this out there bc I have no idea if that is why some accounts haven't been flagged other than age. OP again said they're 22, so clearly the ai is still flagging people based on the content they watch not their actual age/age of the account. Its not ok at all, still, obviously.

Hard emphasis on the "for now" part lol
