I have to verify my age for that... Duh!

Same. I refuse to give google my credit card details or ID for this. I've been on Youtube for about 13 years with this account, I'd have to have been 5 or less to not be old enough to view whatever I want now... What garbage.

They don't accept your birthdate without a credit card or ID? Wow.

Those are the only two options they presented me with...

Seems to be a new "feature". I'm also getting this as of an hour ago! Pretty stupid if you ask me, since my account is linked to all my Android devices, where I have Google Play installed and have purchased apps with a CC, so verifying my CC again seems to be lazy or greedy on their part. Alternately submitting a photo ID says it may take up to 3 days to verify. We really need a YouTube competitor sooner than later.

There are plenty of alternatives, try Newpipe on Android. Just another youtube client without the google source.

What about Windows? I hardly ever watch anything on my phone, the screen is much too small to be enjoyable. I just mean that since big G owns all of these products and happily links other preferences, they should also be able to link my CC.

Huh, so I clicked on make account and when I checked the "english instances" box, the first item in the instance list changed to Chinese. Guess that checkbox doesn't work so well.

It randomises the order. “English instances” just filters out instances which do not list English as a language; that doesn't mean English is the primary language of the instances that are left.

youtube-dl to the rescue!

(also never knew about that video, but it's great indeed)

Still one of my favorite videos ten years on. Always fun to see a fresh posting of it in the wild. :D
