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.
Use your selfie camera to take a photo of a computer screen in highest quality you can. 4k recommended.
No, stop giving the system legitimacy. Reject it and leave their platform if it is required.
Don’t even log into YouTube.
