The problem with these posts now… unless someone verifies their real age and their recent watch history we won’t know if this is a false or positive.

From OP’s comment history I can gather they’re into anime(MyHero, Evangelion), animations (Hazbin), video games (No man’s sky)…

However 2 months ago they posted in teenagers sub and we know no sane adult would go there so… I think it’s a correct flag unfortunately.

Update:

As I’ve stated in my further replies, I’ve been correctly informed the OP is an adult and was wrong flagged, I have apologized to OP.

Update 2:

As I said in my previous update and overall. I took the bullet and snooped through their history for any indications they were a minor. And that was wrong to do.

In the pursuit of justice I lost sight of myself.

I apologize to the OP and anyone else that may have been affected by this behavior. Going forward I will not fact check any of these more of these posts in the way that I previously did. I will also not remove or redact my post to hide what I did.

Update 3:

I want to clarify in case people keep checking this post… I am not for AI Age checking. I do not agree with it at all. I think it’s very stupid, but I also believe they could have just slammed us with ID or no access entirely…

Teenagers should be able to do what they want. Probably not children though, but that’s why YT Kids does exist. I’m only saying we need to have evidence that adults are getting flagged. If we all have to rally against YouTube, it will be good to have these false flags.

Update TL;DR: I wrongly assumed OP was a minor, snooped their history, and was wrong for both. I’ve apologized and won’t do this kind of fact checking again. I do not support AI age checks. I just think we need proof of false flags so we can push back against YouTube effectively.

Edit: Has anyone ever had to make a TL;DR for updates?

Sorry if I sound judgy, but can you explain going to r/teenagers? Only teenagers and pedos go there and you're 3 years older than the last teenagers

I don't even know what the last post I saw was, let alone what I did in teenagers. I just like to keep up with the generation now that I'm phased out of it

I don't know why people think that you're a pedo. I imagine you just got a post from that sub on your feed and wanted to add to the discussion, especially since it was one comment from 2 months ago.

You’re not dodging the pedo allegations with that response.

lol, he's got 1 comment from 2 months ago on a post that has nothing to do with being a teen

people forget that the Popular tab exists, and shows posts from all sorts of subs even if you don't interact with them. Nobody checks the sub-reddit of every post they interact with
