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.
