We need a newer pipe
Nintendo NEW Nintendo Newpipe
I’m not giving google my documents to confirm my identity, I’ll pass
As if they don’t already know everyones age by now from our collected data.
They actually sent me an email one time that basically said: “We’ve changed some settings for you since yoi don’t look 18+”
As if any of us are actually anyone ;D
Yeah, it’s definitely a good idea to make absolutely sure they have your confirmed identity, just to watch some YouTube videos. Some people actually care about privacy.
You don’t have to do that, just make a blank account with fake info and out a fake birthday
Maybe it’s a regional thing, they wanted some way to verify that I was really 18+. And Google requires a phone number if you want to create a new account, but I did make a couple more before this was a thing.
Yeah but then you have to actually take the time to log in.
Documents? I’ve never submitted any documents to login to any website before. Just give it a fake name with a made up birth date .
Unfortunately Google requires a phone number, which is linked to my person verified by documents. So it’s not really private or anonymous. If you run a normal Android Google knows who you are anyway.
Btw, how did that get pushed simultanously in all those countries? Isn’t anonymous communication a basic right? Did UKUSA pull some strings after the twin towers?
I gave them my documents with everything except the age blocked out with a black bar. I then digitally altered the birthdate to not be my real one. It worked.
Oh that is a bad development
Classic actions of a horrible company doing horrible things.
“It’s for the safety of the children”
I’m still mad at them for disabling the “add to watch later” button on video marked as “for kids”.
YouTube soon to update terms of service to include “We must secure the existence of ads and a future for youtube-watching children”
youtube-dl won’t even download them now.
You can, if you pass cookies from your browser to the command line. The easiest way is to specify your browser, e.g.
yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefoxI don’t have an account so that probably won’t work. Thanks though!
Both newpipe and libretube stopped working for me. I’m now using grayjay
YouTube ReVanced still works phenomenally.
Weird, since yesterday revanced doesn’t seem to work anymore for me so I went back to newpipe.
Mine stopped working yesterday too, it just needs an updated patch version. There is a new version of the revanced manager that I think requires a manual download/update first and then the youtube apk version to apply the patches on is 19.43.41
I tried patching it yesterday, nothing changed but today I got an update on revanced and the suggested youtube version has also changed. After patching with the 19.43.41 version it seems to be working again.
Settings > ReVanced > Misc > turn off Spoof client to iOS.
Sometimes requires a re-patch to the newest APK they support
This is weird… Where did you get your APK? From F-Droid or their website? The F-Droid version is always one or two versions behind the main repo.
Try updating to the latest version via their website/GitHub.
I get it from fdroid. I might follow your advice and get it from github. I thought fdroid follows GitHub
Edit: maybe I will use accrescent instead of fdroid from now on
Add the newpipe repository to fdroid for faster updates
Or use a fdroid client like droid-ify where the newpipe repository can enabled with just a toggle and not a somewhat difficult to find url
I use a fork called Bravenewpipe. It adds filters and Sponsorblock. It’s brilliant!

Newpipe hasn’t stopped working… If it errors, just close the video and refresh your VPN
I try to use YT as little as possible these days. Used to stream a lot of indie music, not talking indie radio guitarists no I mean the REAL indie basement dwellers, but since YT took away play-all buttons I moved to SoundCloud. Just type in a song you know in the genre you want and let it autoplay.
If you dig indie music from basement dwellers check out funkwhale sometime, we are building the fediverse version of grooveshark.
Well the first roadbump you’ll run into is that I’ve never heard of grooveshark. Power to you, those on the Fediverse who persevere will benefit immensely during these early adoption years.
Well darn, guess I should have said Spotify. Grooveshark predated Spotify and was centralized but allowed uploading and sharing.
Soulseek is another a great place for sharing and talking about music, its one of the oldest p2p network that’s still active.
Might be internet generational. I’ve never had a spotify account, but I lived on Grooveshark back in the day
Protect the children: “Hey kids, have you heard about raid shadow legends? Why not go borrow mum’s credit card because it’s free.”
Fun insider fact - the gambling industry learned things from that game.
Use PipePipe
Is it better than NewNew?
That’s not on F-Droid.
Oh, it IS a real one? My mistake lol, checking it out
It’s on izzyondroid repo(also on fdroid now)
I had this happen recently with Freetube and the, very strangely, age restricted new trailer for a Darktide update. Hope the big brains figure out a work around. Even invidious fallback wouldn’t play it.

OP is a screenshot from newpipe, they are very rigid on adding those things, that’s why you need to download other forks to get sponsorblock for example.
It happens on Youtube Music on the web also.
I don’t sign in on my work computer because last time I paid for food my Google account hijacked my chrome browser.
So now I simply can’t listen to whole albums because some songs are age restricted
It’s been a while since I used chrome, but I used to use incognito to avoid that from happening. You can log into your services in the incognito session and when you’re done and close the incognito session, the temporary folder with your session stuff will get deleted, leaving the normal chrome browser unaffected.
What’s the video? Curious is piped has the same issue
In this case it was an updated version (even though I specifically searched for the original, but that’s a seperate issue) of Michael Jackson’s They Don’t Care About Us video with some graphic images of war and starvation.
I think it’s like this with all age-gated videos, though 😮💨
Yeah, looks like piped has the same issue
Time to use my old yt account.
I’m surprised more people don’t create fake accounts with fake identities?
Be Goliath Giantman who lives in tinytown, Nebraska. Use the address of a Dominos.
Then Go one step farther. Make a social media profile. Post AI photos of Goliath’s family and dog. Assign him the job you wish you had. Sign him up for ancestry .com and create the family tree you want.

You can buy eSIMs from countries that don’t require your documents.
There’s ways to bypass it. I’ve bought a virtual number.
And if you search for “How to create an account without a phone number” on whatever platform you’re using, you might find a backdoor.
pretty much everyone has at least a couple of old or throwaway numbers tho?
use one of those.
i have lik 5 numbers from 2 different countries rnalso you don’t need a phone number for a google account? (i hav like 10 accounts i switch between in addition to my primary one with all the billing info, google cloud and stuff)
Ok genius idea 💀
I wonder how much effort would be needed for going further?
Create the AI family pictures. You’ll need a bunch of different ones. Profile pics, some bar picks. Throw a wedding in there. And some completely random situations.
Can you make a person, and them propt it to always use the same result for different pictures?Make a resume. You’ll want different jobs in the past probably. Maybe they moved around.
The ancestry idea is brilliant.
Make up a dramatic backstory and post vague updates.
“My daughter’s quinceañera was last week. No photos, after ‘the incident’. Can’t believe it happened again 😭”
My most mildly infuriating thing with freetube is that the new player is not aligned with the edges of the video, I reported it initially cause I thought it was a bug
