    Accounts used by multiple people enter the room.

    By kids often use my account on our shared family TV. We have adults in 30s/40s, early teens, and toddlers all using YouTube for different things.

    This is a stupid idea.

        I don’t want account sharing either, except theres things like Google homes where you can’t sign in with more than one account. People sharing the same account in a TV aren’t trying to, it’s just the natural way they use it.

    They already do this. There was a way to check and there may still be. When I checked like 10 years ago it was wrong about everything. Age, hobbies, everything

    So good luck yt I guess

    Is this why Google sent me an email saying they changed my settings and I can scan in my ID if I want to change them back?

      I am guessing this is a rethorical question, but, they already forcibly flag videos as “made for kids” against the creators’ will (and despite very clear audience statistics proving it’s not).

      So yeah, they are totally using their magic 8-ball to restrict your content.

        They were sometimes restricting videos for swearing or mentioning mature topics while being “made for kids” even though the videos were clearly not for kids.

    I’ve been wondering lately how effective a service would be that takes your credentials for a service, such as YouTube, and starts engaging with content at random so that the data the service has on you is all junk

    Don’t know how meaningful something like this would even be, but if all these companies are gonna try so hard to collect data on me then I’d rather fill that data with useless junk

    I watch plenty of penguinz0, This Old House, Smosh, and lawn care videos. Can’t wait to find out what YouTube makes of that.

    I’m betting that it’s so “intelligent” that will guess underage even if the Google account was opened in 2004

      When you log into YouTube, a patented recog device does read your anus to confirm your identity. Its CCDs convert light into text-based codes, which represent your unique fingerprint of anal terrain.

        In an alternate universe you wedge your iScan device into your butt cheeks so it maintains constant positive biometric contact with you as your token for authentication.

        Your passcode plus biometric scan.
