      What about people living in a country where youtube is blocked. I guess Google just says “fuck 'em”?

      Yyep.

      If you’re using a VPN, you’re likely anonymized and not directly making YouTube any money. Those are leeches, as far as a Google accountant is concerned.

        They said logging in doesn’t make it go away. Being logged in means they can already track you, so this is pretty ridiculous of them tbh.

      A few days ago I gotta message from google saying they “can’t verify my age” (meaning they want gov ID I’m sure) so I’m forced to use safe search and other stuff too.

      Fuck. That!
