YouTube will start using your view history to guess if you're an adult

I still find it hard to believe just how few people even ask themselves the obvious : Provides services 'for free', but is one of the world's biggest companies. Where is the money coming from ?
YouTube Red Max Pro, of course

I like how people are proud of having 20 yo viewing history on YT. Send your browsing history to Google as well, see how impressed they are.

My YouTube account is old enough to be an adult.
Mine is literally older than YouTube.

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.

There's a small part of me that has kind of wished that this kind of pseudo age verification was a thing for a while (even though there's a much bigger part that doesn't want any corporation to know a damn thing about me.)
I remember swinging through Walmart once to pick up a couple things.
My cart had, IIRC, some deodorant (old spice classic,) masking tape, a can of spray paint, some plumbing parts, a few fishing lures, socks, and a couple of snacks.
I had one of those "I've become my dad" moments looking at my cart. I feel like that shopping list is practically a distillation of every suburban dad who's ever existed.
But of course, I rang up the spray paint, and an employee had to come over to confirm that I was in fact some boring suburban white dude and not a teenager who was going to use it for mischief or huff it to get high.
Maybe I'm giving the juvenile delinquents of today too little credit, or maybe my fellow grown-ups too much, but I feel like the venn diagram of people buying fishing lures, a new toilet flapper, and socks, has basically no overlap with vandals and paint-sniffers.
So I kind of felt like maybe the almighty algorithm could have picked up on that and let me skip having the underpaid giving me a quick looking-at before punching his code into the self-checkout.

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.

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

Care to share the channels? Sounds interesting.

Hopefully Google doesn't bypass that and record your history to guess your age regardless.

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.
