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.
Because they need to know who to target ads for gutter cleaning systems and fat man t-shirts.

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.

As far as YouTube is concerned, I haven't watched a video there in over a year.

Hopefully Google doesn't bypass that and record your history to guess your age regardless.
In fact, Google probably still records your view and search history even if you turn those off, and turning off view and search history probably just blocks it from getting added to the recommendation algorithm.
Basically, the best course of action, while it still is a course of action, is to just watch YT either on one of the few Invidious instances left standing, or on Grayjay, but still, purge your search and view history and disable it moving forward for added peace of mind if anything.
Better yet would be to straight-up log out of YT on your browser and only watch YT in Invidious or logged in on Grayjay moving forward.

You do realize that there are a ton of adult fans for kids shows and games right? How quickly the bronies are forgotten with everything happening in the world.
they dont watch dora the explorer or blue clues though. they watch something like pokemon,yugioh which are suppose to be targeted at kids.

if you're not logged in, which i dont, it will try to reccomend controversial videos to you.

Ya know, I'm starting to think Google uses our data for doing more than providing the service that we sign up for..
they are collecting data points and creating a brain for ai to live in
