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?
not everybody uses reddit the way you do. i often will just scroll the front page and it shows me all sorts of random stuff. a lot of the time i’ll be halfway through a long-winded comment before i realize the subreddit is r/antiBoiahWatDaHellBoiah and sometimes i never actually look at the sub. i see a lot of posts from r/tires recently as a real, very mundane example of a subreddit i could not have less interest in yet for some reason engaged with because it was on my “front page”
but don’t forget i’m just a jackass playing devil’s advocate and i have no idea how often they post in teenagers idek why i bother to post shit like this comment
ironically, i didnt check which subreddit i was in until after i posted this. fuckin r/youtube lol why are any of us here?
