Your privacy? Fuck you. YouTube begins asking users for ID, August 13th.

It’s starting.

Well, fuck. There goes my only real way of listening to music.

[Mode 7]

This could be trouble because I mostly watch old episodes of the Smurfs on YT

Happening to Spotify as well.

I’m not 100% with whatever’s going on with Wikipedia. Only that if you’re some crumpet eating asshole, it’s currently(?) restricted in United Kingdom. 

Just remember that this was “all about porn.”

[1pooh4u]

I don’t get why they doing this 

[katt_goddess]

Good luck with that. I've had an account so long that it's old enough to drink legally. 

I can't wait to see how they spell this out for those with channels for their crotch goblin spawn to review toys on. 

[tsar4]

Welp, guess I'll have to actually upload the rest of my vinyl.

If you have music saved in your phone or pc, I recommend Symfonium as a player. 

[André Toulon]

Cool, I was looking for better shit to do but didn't have the motivation.

Same. Plus, I'm pretty sure the algorithm has guessed my age all ready - my ads are for cancer & diabetes meds, getting my windows replaced, and that one mah jong game that 85% of seniors play.

This is some fucked up shit, and of course when pressed on it, lawmakers call you a pedophile for not wanting it.  Fuck this nonsense.

This too. My account is old enough to drink and buy weed 😆

My account is old enough to be one of the MILF wives in that AI recap of the manga with a isekaid 40 year old dude in a teenager’s body.

I mean, she’s not really a MILF after 50.  She’s more of a GMILF, which is also totally hot but maybe too old to be a legit YouTube account.

[Seight]

Can't wait for the A.I. to see how much vtuber stuff I watch and think "minor" instead of "high-functioning 30-something autist"  

[SwimOdin]

I watch a lot of stuff about geography. I will be banned for autism.

*young kid starts new youtube account*

*searches for nothing but porn*

*new age verification algorithm sees user searching only for adults only content, checks off user as adult*

Brilliant strategy, guys.

Exactly. “State of the art” AI that YouTube, let alone Google trusts should give you the perfect idea. It probably won’t matter if your account was made 20 or 18 years ago. If you thought the way they handled Copyright was horrendous, you got another thing coming.

When the ads do get through, they are for usually for Chewy and Oriental Trading Co.  

I watch a lot of cat videos and AMVs. 

[lupin_bebop]

I have videos on my account older than most of the people they are trying to “protect from viewing adult content”.

Make me wonder what Shitter is going to do since 70%+ of Melon Husk's followers are bots that aren't even old enough to go to kindergarten.
