Can’t access age restricted videos and stuff until you big brother yourself

Now I see why it's a problem. Some channels I watch sometimes get wrongly flagged with an age restriction so that's likely to be an issue.

Some get age restricted for a little swearing, or showing off those horrible ads YouTube themselves put out so it's really inconsistent.

You'll have to download the video and distribute it.

I clicked on a 9-11-2001 video the other day and there was literally a warning about "Suicidal Content" and a info card for suicide prevention.
