The children will be so safe and happy

That is always hilarious to me when my YouTube account is 18yo

[–] softcat@lemmy.ca 37 points 5 days ago (1 children)

As far as Google knows I was born on 1/1/1901

[–] zapzap@lemmings.world 25 points 5 days ago (2 children)

How did it "verify" your age? Did it quiz you on early-2000s trivia or something?

[–] gogo@lemmy.zip 20 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Haha, sadly not.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

don't bother, there's browser addons that just make that screen disappear

I always find it funny how close German can sometimes be to English.

Edit: oops, not German

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well sure, but this is danish.

[–] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.org 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not german. Maybe swedish?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Norwegian or Danish. Swedish doesn't have æ, and icelandic would have a ton of weird unreadable characters

[–] gogo@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

It's danish.

e. that guy with the mohawk and the gold chains on his neck

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Imagine for a moment if your underage ears would hear fuck shit crap ass schlong, ruined forever!

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 days ago

We all know the worst thing to hear when your underage is mild swears!

Verbal abuse though? That’s fine!

/s obviously

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I have this same acc for probably >20 years now. But you should not think that they would get smarter! They still want to me to verify my age from time to time.

(I do never comply, of course, because all personal data there is either missing or fake)

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My original account is 18 for sure, maybe 20. Have a second one now but even that is over 10 already.

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

For funsies I looked up when I invited someone to Gmail:

Not sure exactly when my account was made but obviously before then! Also check out the generous one gig of storage space

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

"Invited someone to Gmail" was enough for me, didn't need to see the date lol

Are you sure you want to delete your account? This action cannot be undone.

Yes, no.

Yes.

I never have this problem with YT Music through OuterTune...

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Just installed that, and it works!

I've not been able to get spotify to work for ages. Not through xmanager, not through revanced, none of it. Maybe it's because I'm in australia, I don't know, but thanks to your comment I've got a music player again.

[–] kiagam@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Spotube uses your spotify library, but gets the audio from youtube

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 days ago

Oh cool. I can still access spotify on the computer, so I'll probably just check and search up the artists I like. Thanks!

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I can play Cannibal Corpse without an account on a browser. What the hell are you listening to? lol

[–] gogo@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I have had this happen to me with a few songs. One of the songs is I Can't Fucking Sing by the The Weeknd.

[–] iii@mander.xyz 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Not when are you listening, but what

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There are some very special videos.
One time I read about "Naked Yoga" videos being published uncensored on YouTube (so basically soft core porn).
Me not believing that (due to the high fear of popular youtuber being demonetized just because they said "ass" or "fuck") searched for that and low and behold, there are people absolutely uploading basically pornhub level content on YT.

But YT lock those videos behind the age wall you have seen in OPs post.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Right, but this is Youtube Music though.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Naked yoga with Cannibal Corpse in the background.

the song with the English translated title of "ruru's suicide show on a livestream" is age restricted.

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Listening to the Wiggles over and over again will do that .. 😁

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Toot toot, chugga chugga, big red car!

[–] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

There is a script for that, I don't know if it works for Music too because I never used it. Give me a second and I'll add the link here. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/423851-simple-youtube-age-restriction-bypass
