    Couldn’t they just make this default for everyone? No need to distinguish between teens and adults for that.

    Both my YouTube and google accounts are over 20 years old. I don’t think I’ll have a problem, but you never know…

      My main YouTube I had since 2006, but I got new email and it’s on 6 months old. I do pay for Premium and the shit I subscribe to and watch is vanlifers and cooking shows, along with music video’s. Clearly I am an adult. I also about start an YouTube show. They will see I am an old man lol.

    I mean, honestly this is one of the better uses for machine learning. Not that this age checking is a good thing but if you’re going to do it on a mass scale then this seems like the right approach. I imagine that especially for a relatively heavy user this is going to be extremely accurate and far better than the alternative of providing a selfie let alone picture of an ID.
