My YouTube account is old enough to be an adult.
Will start?
I’m pretty certain that they’re already guessing as much about you as possible for targeted ads.
I watched a video today on my work computer for the first time, where I don’t have the ability to block the ads. Dear god. The litany of overhyped, lie-based AI dreck was traumatizing.
I watched a single motorcycle video on computer logged out of YouTube. All the related videos were rage bait right wing content. None related to motorcycles.
YouTube has started showing me ads for planning my own funeral 😞
I get ads to become a nuclear engineer and work on a military submarine 😂
It’s always a good time. Wirh these things you never know.
My account is old enough to buy beer. The fuck do you think, YouTube?
Finally, I can just watch 50 hours of N64 emulation nerd shit to gain access to the softcore porn I also wanted to watch, after this next N64 video
I watch a lot of Bluey…
So I just have to gain a brain rot addiction to regain my youth? When asked how this twelve year old managed to create a YouTube account 20 years ago, YouTube replied, “he’s very clever.”
Why does YouTube need to know how old I am, explicit content isn’t allowed on the platform so the age of the viewer isn’t something they need to know.
So watching a Australian man review mp3 players will mean what?
Is that the green iPad man?
Millennial
My viewing history can legally drink in US in a year. What do you mean „guess”?
Are you sure you are not three kids in a trench coat?
I just got off work at the business factory. I did three businesses today!
Vincent? Vincent Adultman? I haven’t seen you since business college when we took company 101 together with Professor Realguy!
How have you been?
YouTube thinks I’ll buy a Rolex LMFAO
It’s obvious they are going to use it to stop allowing access without a login or disabling history tracking
So, if you’re a child, watch some videos about budgeting, maybe a few cooking videos?
I dunno, what are some categories of video no youth would ever watch?
Recorded really early 20th century movies or acts.
Vanlife videos, cooking shows, and politics should make YouTube believe you’re an adult. But hell I subscribe to gaming channels, with watching gamers play games. Will that get me labeled a child.
It’s interesting that you mention the gaming thing, I’ve realised recently that I’m still watching the same folks I was 10 years ago, so it’s really content by millennials for millennials - not a child thing like I’m used to assuming. It does come in part because if I mention YouTube to a younger person I get a blank look when I say who I watch.
I think you got it backwards. What are some categories an adult would never watch? Fucking Dora the Explorer and Blues Clues and the like. Although it’s very likely they just play it from their account for their kids.
I regularly watch kids shows in Korean. Not because I’m a Korean baby, but because it’s a lower level vocabulary to learn the language
Good fuckin luck, I’m still getting Spanish ads for womans deodorant. If they can’t figure out my sex and language age might be a bit rough for em
Spanish ads for womans deodorant.
Google’s data-mining software knew pretty well who 1D10 was. It had simply concluded, based on its extensive database spanning vast numbers of users around the world, that he would look magnificent in a flamenca dress.
Ok so it’s sometimes right.
so just turn off your youtube view and search history
Hopefully Google doesn’t bypass that and record your history to guess your age regardless.
