I’ve been having some weird issues over the last few days with not being able to search for things in YouTube when I’m logged in via SmartTube account.
So I decided to try accessing it directly. Well guess what? It looks like YouTube now requires age verification in AU.
Sorry Google… I’m not uploading my passport, drivers licence or govt id to watch your shit. I am however now very incentivized to use Tube archivist and Jellyfin, plus cron job to scrape your shit with gleeful abandon.
Could we use AI to gen a fake ID ? Using their own weapon against them ?
You would need likely a paid AI service, the free ones I found were way too low detail. I got like 800x800 images, but a 4k YouTube video is way better
