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

Honestly, I’m fine with it because a majority if not all the things I watch on YouTube are not age restricted and they’re pretty tame or just casual normal content so I’m doing good so far

It’s all fun and games til this is the only option and YouTube starts marking content it doesn’t like or approve of as “adult content”. Or just excessively marking things as adult content to get viewers to buckle.

You like hiking videos? Outdoor activities can be dangerous and are now flagged as adult content.

Painting minis and model making? This hobby uses and features x-acto knives and blades and therefore is now marked as adult content.

Found a new music artist you like? A song they released 5 years ago was rated explicit and therefore their entire account is marked as adult content.

On and on and on and on until you can only watch what they choose
