“Please doxx yourself to continue”
For the longest time it would force me to log in to watch “restricted” videos, but now that’s not enough.
It gave me a fourth option of “verify by email address” but that didn’t work.
the industry term for this ive heard tossed around is “checkpointing”, as in, your account has been checkpointed.
i decided when my first social account was checkpointed, i would turn around and stop using the service.
and that is the story of how i got off all meta products, left twitter, left microsoft, and am a few steps away from de-googling all but one official account i will keep isolated for very specific tasks. i might even get rid of it, eventually.
checkpoints are gates to enter walled gardens. the walls will only ever get higher and more hostile to crossing until it becomes obvious to all users they are prisons.
viewed in this way, they are training you by helping you learn where you don’t really want to end up. and this will be the easiest moment to transition elsewhere. the stakes will only increase.
Won’t someone think of the children!?
Meanwhile the children are being gunned down in schools, eh whatever shit’s boring who cares?
There’s literal pedophiles in charge of the empire, but we must protect the children from learning about a genocide.
Institutional pedophilea ala Trump and Epstein is fine, it’s problematic when the poors do it instead. (I feel dirty for even writing this lmao)
same with everything else… stealing, murder,removed… all of it is only bad when done by the poors
This has been the norm in Europe for a few years now. I refuse to give Youtube my ID or bank card lol
Im gonna email you pics of my boobies
verify this, google
Get the slop churner to make an ID, perhaps? Never tried it, worth a shot.
Using the slop churner to generate a selfie of an old sweaty man to verify your age.
But what if it ends up looking too much like the actual me?
This is probably why they were cracking down on invidious and other YouTube frontends. They want to make sure everyone submits themselves to the pantopticon.
I use Newpipe and launch a VPN whenever they block my IP address
Send them this
Nah this one has already expired
I feel you could fix the date and it would still accept it
Some people posted on Polish websites that this got them through YouTube age verification years ago
take a selfie
How do they stop you from uploading a photo of a random person?
I believe when this sort of thing was first rolled out in the UK people were successfully using pictures of Norman Reedus in Death Stranding, not sure if it still works or not.
i tried using a random picture and it worked at first, but couldnt get past the second phase.
Nowadays it requires a video of doing certain random actions. Not impossible to fake but much harder.
Or an AI generated one
This is the basis for blacklisting people from regime social media.
use a photo of Sam Porter Bridges hope this helps
I miss the days when we could bypass ts using userscripts.
There used to be a trick where you could simply rearrange the url in someway.
We now know tankis email.But send them this pic
is that… chad+ppb? I’ve never seen this version!
I try to look for the video on archive.org when it is age restricted and it works sometimes
I’m from Europe and Google started doing something like this a few years back for a short while. I think one of the options was text message verification which is what I used on a couple of my Google accounts. Then it went away and I never saw it pop up again
