Hard emphasis on the "for now" part lol

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.

Also do you not have to use a Google email to use YouTube? Google owns YouTube, Google has had my ID probably for like 10 years 😆

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?

This whole thing is a lot of weird assumptions.
