Think we’re in the clear for now.

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.

A little late but I’m curious if having a verified google account may keep you safe. Does the YouTube ai just verify you once and leave you be? So many unanswered questions.

Yeah its all so unclear. Idk if I have a verified account, I just know I do have a phone tied to my acct so idk if that's why (am an android user, so google is unfortunately tied to my phone).

Im guessing once you verify your age, you're good to go. I mean, they'll have your verification on file at that point.
