Protect the children: "Hey kids, have you heard about raid shadow legends? Why not go borrow mum's credit card because it's free."

Fun insider fact - the gambling industry learned things from that game.

I'm not giving google my documents to confirm my identity, I'll pass

[โ€“] [email protected] 65 points 4 days ago (3 children)

As if they don't already know everyones age by now from our collected data.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

They actually sent me an email one time that basically said: "We've changed some settings for you since yoi don't look 18+"

Documents? I've never submitted any documents to login to any website before. Just give it a fake name with a made up birth date .

[โ€“] gigachad 19 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Unfortunately Google requires a phone number, which is linked to my person verified by documents. So it's not really private or anonymous. If you run a normal Android Google knows who you are anyway.

You don't have to do that, just make a blank account with fake info and out a fake birthday

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Maybe it's a regional thing, they wanted some way to verify that I was really 18+. And Google requires a phone number if you want to create a new account, but I did make a couple more before this was a thing.

Classic actions of a horrible company doing horrible things.

"It's for the safety of the children"

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

I'm still mad at them for disabling the "add to watch later" button on video marked as "for kids".

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

YouTube soon to update terms of service to include "We must secure the existence of ads and a future for youtube-watching children"

[โ€“] [email protected] 62 points 4 days ago (2 children)

youtube-dl won't even download them now.

[โ€“] [email protected] 40 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You can, if you pass cookies from your browser to the command line. The easiest way is to specify your browser, e.g. yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox

[โ€“] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago

I don't have an account so that probably won't work. Thanks though!

Have you tried Grayjay? Grayjay gets updates quickly and so I rarely see the issue.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Just FYI. Grayjay is only source available, but not open source like newpipe and its forks.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I think greyjay is the best YouTube app. I gave up on Newpipe the moment Firefox for Android reenabled extension support. I didn't like the fact that Newpipe needed a fork just for Sponsor block support.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Well, with newpipes forks are possible in order to implement controversial features, with Grayjay they are unlikely because of its non-open-source license.

Oh that is a bad development

[โ€“] [email protected] 52 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I try to use YT as little as possible these days. Used to stream a lot of indie music, not talking indie radio guitarists no I mean the REAL indie basement dwellers, but since YT took away play-all buttons I moved to SoundCloud. Just type in a song you know in the genre you want and let it autoplay.

[โ€“] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago (3 children)

If you dig indie music from basement dwellers check out funkwhale sometime, we are building the fediverse version of grooveshark.

Both newpipe and libretube stopped working for me. I'm now using grayjay

[โ€“] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago (5 children)

YouTube ReVanced still works phenomenally.

i don't understand why people don't just use revanced and ublock?

[โ€“] Mandy 58 points 4 days ago (8 children)

My main problem is that freetube perfectly remembers video position, without fail.
YouTube always fails

[โ€“] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Weird. I don't have that problem.

I don't like having a google account that has google tracking any video I watch. Also... the recommendations are more addicting and with Tubular (NewPipe fork) and Freetube I just imported my subs and follow them a bit. Never had to deal with the shitty youtube website once. Also, ReVanced still uses the proprietary YouTube apk and I prefer free software on my phone

Never got revanced to work on my phone (in spite of reading all the documentation and online advice, doing literally everything that was supposed to make it work short of jail breaking or changing to Graphene) and as for ublock, I use it but I prefer YouTube on a dedicated client to a browser tab since I usually have far too many of the latter open at a time..

Besides, unlike revanced, NewPipe worked perfectly out of the box and it seems like PipePipe still does, so..

[โ€“] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago

I'll just leave this here

How does Revanced even work.

I mean, newpipe is just download install and it works.

Anyone have a tutorial?

(Also how would Revanced bypass age restricted if you need to sign in before youtube even sends the video over to you? Does Revanced use burner accounts like Aurora store?)

there's userscripts you can get for adguard for windows and tampermonkey that allow you to watch age-restricted stuff without being signed in.

Why can't invidious and piped do that?

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

OP is a screenshot from newpipe, they are very rigid on adding those things, that's why you need to download other forks to get sponsorblock for example.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

9xbuddy works fine to download age-restricted videos. It's probably not FOSS, though.

[โ€“] bitwolf 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It happens on Youtube Music on the web also.

I don't sign in on my work computer because last time I paid for food my Google account hijacked my chrome browser.

So now I simply can't listen to whole albums because some songs are age restricted

I had this happen recently with Freetube and the, very strangely, age restricted new trailer for a Darktide update. Hope the big brains figure out a work around. Even invidious fallback wouldnโ€™t play it.
