I can play Cannibal Corpse without an account on a browser. What the hell are you listening to? lol

gogo@lemmy.zip on 17 Apr 13:49 next collapse

I have had this happen to me with a few songs. One of the songs is I Can’t Fucking Sing by the The Weeknd.

Not when are you listening, but what

Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Apr 16:33 collapse

There are some very special videos.
One time I read about “Naked Yoga” videos being published uncensored on YouTube (so basically soft core porn).
Me not believing that (due to the high fear of popular youtuber being demonetized just because they said “ass” or “fuck”) searched for that and low and behold, there are people absolutely uploading basically pornhub level content on YT.

But YT lock those videos behind the age wall you have seen in OPs post.

scytale@lemm.ee on 17 Apr 17:12 collapse

Right, but this is Youtube Music though.

Naked yoga with Cannibal Corpse in the background.

the song with the English translated title of “ruru’s suicide show on a livestream” is age restricted.

zapzap@lemmings.world on 17 Apr 13:45 next collapse

How did it “verify” your age? Did it quiz you on early-2000s trivia or something?

gogo@lemmy.zip on 17 Apr 13:55 next collapse

Haha, sadly not. <img alt="" src="https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/88706dac-0305-49dc-989b-e8fbfca55dd5.webp">

I always find it funny how close German can sometimes be to English.

Edit: oops, not German

Franconian_Nomad@feddit.org on 17 Apr 14:11 next collapse

Not german. Maybe swedish?

hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Apr 14:19 collapse

Norwegian or Danish. Swedish doesn’t have æ, and icelandic would have a ton of weird unreadable characters

gogo@lemmy.zip on 17 Apr 16:12 collapse

It’s danish.

danekrae@lemmy.world on 17 Apr 14:27 collapse

Well sure, but this is danish.

We all know the worst thing to hear when your underage is mild swears!

Verbal abuse though? That’s fine!

There is a script for that, I don’t know if it works for Music too because I never used it. Give me a second and I’ll add the link here. greasyfork.org/…/423851-simple-youtube-age-restri…

I have this same acc for probably >20 years now. But you should not think that they would get smarter! They still want to me to verify my age from time to time.

(I do never comply, of course, because all personal data there is either missing or fake)

boonhet@lemm.ee on 17 Apr 15:29 collapse

My original account is 18 for sure, maybe 20. Have a second one now but even that is over 10 already.

For funsies I looked up when I invited someone to Gmail:

Not sure exactly when my account was made but obviously before then! Also check out the generous one gig of storage space

“Invited someone to Gmail” was enough for me, didn’t need to see the date lol

Are you sure you want to delete your account? This action cannot be undone.

Yes, no.

Yes.

I never have this problem with YT Music through OuterTune…

Excrubulent@slrpnk.net on 18 Apr 02:42 collapse

Just installed that, and it works!

I’ve not been able to get spotify to work for ages. Not through xmanager, not through revanced, none of it. Maybe it’s because I’m in australia, I don’t know, but thanks to your comment I’ve got a music player again.

kiagam@lemmy.world on 18 Apr 03:51 collapse

Spotube uses your spotify library, but gets the audio from youtube

Excrubulent@slrpnk.net on 18 Apr 03:54 collapse

Oh cool. I can still access spotify on the computer, so I’ll probably just check and search up the artists I like. Thanks!

That is always hilarious to me when my YouTube account is 18yo
