So...I'm fucked unless I give ID?

What have you been watching lately?

>>149866432 (OP)
Just log off bro

>>149866432 (OP)
What is this, mobile store? You got no games on your phone, lil bro? You're fucked.

>>149866432 (OP)
Are you British?

No

Hasn't happened to me yet.

>>149866432 (OP)
I just stopped using Youtube and am going back to actual TV. If you absolutely have to, try seeing if the download video sites or Freetube still work. Check the internet archive for bigger story driven channels like AVGN and the Nostalgia Critic. Check other websites for random reuploads. Don't let their lack of convenience let them dox you and create a bigger digital footprint to blacklist you in life based on habits they don't like. When things get bad enough, drop the internet altogether if you have to.

Every time I see art like this I think of anon's rant about the deterioration of art in general. He used several Disney movies as examples.

they were right to assume you're not an adult

>>149866663
The official name for this style is corporate memphis, but the more accurate term the internet thought of is globohomo and it is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen.

Bless the devs. YouTube keeps flooding FT with errors.

Just stop using Youtube.
All the animators who use it should just upload uncensored versions of their shit to Newgrounds or something.

this ain't customer support OP

>>149866432 (OP)
You should take this as a wakeup call to broaden your horizons. Watch a couple videos on car repair and tips on investing for retirement once in awhile.

>>149866432 (OP)
put this on in your profile picture.
change browser, perferably firefox for phone.
put adblock on all your devices.
put anti-trackers and vpn on your devices.
pirate the shit out of stuff on the internet and have physical copies.
look for alternatives to watch videos, lile odysee or rumble, perhaps even vanillo and peertube.
start using newgrounds more.
and pretty much rip apart anything google related shit in your phone and computer.
give no mercy to these fuckers.

The Irony!

>>149867284
man and here i was thinking someone discovered an exploit that makes google see clippy as an adult.

>>149867323
He's assuming since Clippy is old, YT's new algorithm will assume you're old by default
It's barely even a protest, since the message is basically an in-joke known only to the user participating
This would have been great fuel to add to the Google antitrust lawsuit but I suspect that was quietly settled and dropped

I wonder how much longer until 4chan gets shut down

>>149866432 (OP)
Is that a thing? I watched a bunch of age restricted and demonized videos the day before and it went through no issues.
Unless you're watching kiddy videos, you should have no issues, right?
Besides, if the worst comes to the worst, you can always use a fake ID.

>>149867479
It'll happen due to moderation fucking up before outside parties do it
I'm wondering where anons will go once it does
During the hack a lot of the usual schizos just vanish and didn't even go to the various alt chans

>>149867514
>I'm wondering where anons will go once it does
Maybe... they will go out and touch grass?

>>149866574
This is what TV and media wants btw

>>149867479
they'll keep it around as a scapegoat/honeypot/illusion of hope
you can still access 4chan no problem in the UK despite the new law

>>149867569
No, what they want is for people to give them their IDs so they can track them at all times. For the corpos, it's so they can have even more data to sell. For the government, it's so they can track you at literally all times.

>>149867514
>During the hack a lot of the usual schizos just vanish and didn't even go to the various alt chans
And they came back anyway

>>149867514
>During the hack a lot of the usual schizos just vanish and didn't even go to the various alt chans
They just stuck around the archives like they already do, their autism is pretty much bound to 4chan since any other site would just ban them on sight no matter what.

>>149867514
>During the hack a lot of the usual schizos just vanish and didn't even go to the various alt chans
From my experience that's because the altchans are either too slow, have better moderation, or both (or there's just something like IDs in a thread) that makes their tummies hurt because getting their shitposting fix is harder and less rewarding

>>149866432 (OP)
This type of shit is why i hope a meteor hits us soon. Fuck this timeline and fuck these people pushing for this moralfaggot fascism

>>149867284
>put this on in your profile picture.
Clippy's the mascot of a protest now?

>>149866432 (OP)
Just watch 10 hours of golf.

>>149866432 (OP)
Just wait for YouTube to rollback this update like alot of their other widely disliked changes, it's been already getting massive pushback so it's only a matter of time

>>149868099
they rarely ever roll back widely unpopular changes though
what have they rolled back in the past?

>>149868040
Yep.

>>149868129
There was a layout change that would've seen the recommended videos be placed under the video you're watching, with the description and comments off to the side. It's been over a year, I've never seen it, and I'm pretty sure they rolled it back. If they're able to reverse something that minor in comparison, then I think there's hope.

They are gonna wipe out those as well.

I hope you had future vision to download everything you ever loved!

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. If it doesn't generate an Elsagate-tier controversy, it's pretty safe to assume it's gonna stick around, users be damned.

was added. There is no longterm solution and the internet is on borrowed time, but there are still places to hold out for a bit before all there is left is touching grass then a biblical or nuclear end to the world because it's also on borrowed time with how quickly things are getting bad.

I just started using Freetube to get around it and if that doesn't work and there's no alternatives to getting around the ID verification I'll just stop using Youtube all together and go touch grass or something
Youtube isn't good and a large majority of the people I subscribed too don't upload as much or at all anymore

I think I probably watch enough history and documentary content in addition to cartoons that it’s not going to think I’m a kid, but holy fuck YouTube is shit these days. The amount of videos I think sound interesting from the title only to be greeted with shitty TTS narration obviously reading a script written by ChatGPT over shitty AI images is insane. It’s a literal slop factory.

>>149867284
>>149867323
If PewDiePie can go Google-free, so can you

>>149866791
Youtube's algorithm wants to turn everything into Elsa Spiderman lethal injection videos. TADC isn't that, so it's being bombarded until it does.

>>149869113
Children's sloppa is even worse. Literally entire videos fully AI with millions of views.

>>149869176
Pewdiepie makes a hundred million dollars a year, dipshit.

>>149869235
I'm basically Google-free already outside of Youtube.
I don't even use gmail anymore.

>>149868459
everything they got out of me was wrong, as per design.

>>149869235
Not sure how that's relevant to installing FOSS options

>>149869113
Yeah, but I'm a manchild who likes to occasionally watch cartoons, sometimes with my niece. I'm not giving Youtube my fucking driver's license to watch videos with her. Or by myself. Or for anything. Fuck 'em.

>>149867456
>>149868764
you both are right...its time to drop current internet and make a new one.
this one shows some promise since he is actually developing a means to improve our lives and drop this dead internet for a new one.

Just use Brave instead. Built in Ad-blocker, cookie/tracker blocker. Slightly faster than FF too, and uses less RAM (although Google will try to fuck your RAM if it detects anti-ad stuff)

It generated an even bigger one than that anon, possibly lawsuits coming VERY soon

Is it true Opera GX has a free built in vpn?

already use it but I want to have variety.

>>149869346
Maybe all this internet ID shit will finally push anyone who actually values anonymity to ToR. It's always been an option, it's just no-one fucking uses it.

>>149866432 (OP)
>we couldn't verify that you're an adult
>we couldn't verify

To me, that reads like if their Almighty Algorithm can't come up with a "conclusive" age for a user ("I'm, like, 60% sure he's an unemployed 20-something, but 30% is saying he's actually a teenager, and the other 10% is 'I don't fucking know'"), then it's going to ask for age verification. If it's going to ignore stated ages (which, fair enough, I remember the early YouTube days when YouTube displayed your age on your totally-rad customized channel page [God, I miss 2011...] and more than a couple teenagers set their age to 100 just so they could see age-restricted videos; and a lot of that was outright porn, or the Budd Dwyer footage---yes, you could find R. Budd Dwyer's live-on-air suicide on YouTube back in the day, and the only thing stopping you was an age gate that could've been easily circumvented by embedding the video, which was how NSFWyoutube worked... but I digress), then it's going to go with nebulous "signals" that are at some point going to fall back on circular logic, or maybe Google's "Personalized Ads" estimation of your age (>>149868459).
