No, not age restricted.
Happens most frequently with using any VPN, which we use all the time at work and I often use at home or while traveling.
But sometimes it just does it without.
I think most people are signed into their gmail account or have been recently so the cookie is set. It's crazy when you don't have one how hard Google pushes you.
YouTube doesn’t force you to sign in unless the content you’re trying to watch is 18+. That’s just how it works. Your IP address makes no difference.
I’m not signed in to YouTube. Ever. On any device. I have never been forced to sign in to watch anything that wasn’t age restricted.
How should I prove this to you then? You are wrong, it is not just age content.
I could make a short video, or screen capture, but that's more effort than it's worth.
I am telling you, this happens all the damn time and it's getting annoying.
Find a video that asks you to sign in that isn't 18+ or private.
That's really zero effort since it "happens all the damn time"
So weird you should argue about this. Do you always tell people "that doesnt happen to me so it doesn't happen to you". Why would I lie about it?
Why are you such an asshole?
This is my constant experience with youtube. which happened today while I was checking on the hurricane in Jamaica.
I tell people things that what they’re saying is wrong when it is wrong.
All you had to say was that it thinks you’re a bot, and then this whole thing could have been avoided. Which vpn are you using?
All of this? What is this? Not believing people when they tell you something?
And the most interesting part, like I said, was that it doesn't bother when it is google docs. So what is google protecting exactly? That is the main point.
YouTube pays people by the amount of views they get on their videos. It thinks you’re a bot used to farm views. The fact that you always nope out when it asks you to prove your not a bot makes them think you definitely are a bot.
Uh huh. And my only option is to sign in. It doesnt think I am a bot, it just wants to harvest more information and track me.
Youtube can go fuck themselves.
What?
@FreedomAdvocate @NewNewAugustEast You could just say "sorry, my bad," you know. It's pretty simple.
It’s not my bad. You didn’t say you were being asked to sign in because of your suspicious activity lol. That changes everything.
