“Please doxx yourself to continue”
For the longest time it would force me to log in to watch “restricted” videos, but now that’s not enough.
It gave me a fourth option of “verify by email address” but that didn’t work.
the industry term for this ive heard tossed around is “checkpointing”, as in, your account has been checkpointed.
i decided when my first social account was checkpointed, i would turn around and stop using the service.
and that is the story of how i got off all meta products, left twitter, left microsoft, and am a few steps away from de-googling all but one official account i will keep isolated for very specific tasks. i might even get rid of it, eventually.
checkpoints are gates to enter walled gardens. the walls will only ever get higher and more hostile to crossing until it becomes obvious to all users they are prisons.
viewed in this way, they are training you by helping you learn where you don’t really want to end up. and this will be the easiest moment to transition elsewhere. the stakes will only increase.
Won’t someone think of the children!?
Meanwhile the children are being gunned down in schools, eh whatever shit’s boring who cares?
There’s literal pedophiles in charge of the empire, but we must protect the children from learning about a genocide.
Institutional pedophilea ala Trump and Epstein is fine, it’s problematic when the poors do it instead. (I feel dirty for even writing this lmao)
Send them this
Nah this one has already expired
I feel you could fix the date and it would still accept it
Some people posted on Polish websites that this got them through YouTube age verification years ago
This is probably why they were cracking down on invidious and other YouTube frontends. They want to make sure everyone submits themselves to the pantopticon.
This has been the norm in Europe for a few years now. I refuse to give Youtube my ID or bank card lol
Get the slop churner to make an ID, perhaps? Never tried it, worth a shot.
Using the slop churner to generate a selfie of an old sweaty man to verify your age.
But what if it ends up looking too much like the actual me?
Im gonna email you pics of my boobies
verify this, google
I use Newpipe and launch a VPN whenever they block my IP address
This is the basis for blacklisting people from regime social media.
take a selfie
How do they stop you from uploading a photo of a random person?
I believe when this sort of thing was first rolled out in the UK people were successfully using pictures of Norman Reedus in Death Stranding, not sure if it still works or not.
i tried using a random picture and it worked at first, but couldnt get past the second phase.
Nowadays it requires a video of doing certain random actions. Not impossible to fake but much harder.
Or an AI generated one
I miss the days when we could bypass ts using userscripts.
There used to be a trick where you could simply rearrange the url in someway.
use a photo of Sam Porter Bridges hope this helps
My account got this too, fucking infuriating. The email method didn’t work for me either. I was one click away from rage deleting my entire google account without setting up and transferring control elsewhere, so fed up with literally everything year after year.
Anyway, I discovered the “take a selfie” method was run by an incompetent or lazy third party service which I fooled with a random, AI-generated face pic found on image search. It would only accept input from a camera, so I logged in on my phone’s browser, then kept that face pic I found fullscreened on my desktop monitor while angling the phone’s front camera to make a detectable match (a ring around the selfie area would turn green). Was awkward and took a few tries but it worked and restored full account access without further harassment.
lol nice
We now know tankis email.But send them this pic
is that… chad+ppb? I’ve never seen this version!
well at least your account isn’t so old that they dont have to bother asking
thats why it hasnt happened to me? shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
My account is old enough to drink. I may also pay for the plus because I don’t want to have to deal with ads on my TV which is much harder to block ads on.
I hate that they basically put all the Vanced features in Plus then made it almost impossible to run Vanced.
