I’ve been having some weird issues over the last few days with not being able to search for things in YouTube when I’m logged in via SmartTube account.
So I decided to try accessing it directly. Well guess what? It looks like YouTube now requires age verification in AU.
Sorry Google… I’m not uploading my passport, drivers licence or govt id to watch your shit. I am however now very incentivized to use Tube archivist and Jellyfin, plus cron job to scrape your shit with gleeful abandon.
Many adults don’t have one either. I’m in my 30s, got a house. Never had or wanted a credit card. Most people I know don’t have one, although a lot of people nationally do have one there are also lots without.
To the American busy typing away, no. I don’t need one. Go away.
