I’m asking because I just had to verify my age thanks to YouTube requiring me to watch a video that was age restricted.
minus-squareScott 🇨🇦🏴☠️@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-22 days agoI haven’t been able to watch age restricted videos on YouTube for many years since I closed my google account. I’m used to not being able to watch or go anywhere I want.
minus-squareosanna@lemmy.vglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoI haven’t tried for age restricted, but ytdlp works for those “sign in to verify you’re not a bot” prompts. Might be worth checking out if it works for those too. Or just you know, fuck yt off.
