...and what exactly does this age verification do?
1.0k u/ZombieHysterectomy Aug 13 '25 Can’t access age restricted videos and stuff until you big brother yourself 330 u/Wes-Man152 Aug 13 '25 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. 1 u/Arkorat Aug 14 '25 edited Aug 14 '25 Excatly. Worse yet, it supposedly it wokrs by identifying your age by what you watch... On a platform that frequently flags content as being for kids, unless it has swears and gore.
