Did YouTube ask you to verify your age with ID or credit card? You're not alone! YouTube AI is increasingly trying to estimate how old you are based on your habits following the global push for age verification.

Use Individous.
Or, yt-dlp + mpv.
Or, the hidden RSS feeds.
Or, PipePipe on mobile.

Actually, I was just about to post how you can't even use yt-dlp or alternative front ends, since I just tried that. Mpv crashes, Freetube comes up with a blank and mentioned age verification, and yt-dlp showed the same thing. Pipepipe probably won't work due to using invidious.
