I stopped posting there when all my shitposts kept getting taken seriously.
I even remember the last time I posted:
https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/p/15HIK1A8eZ/id-vote-for-him/c
Many comments were taking the thread title seriously and debating whether the guy could be trusted to be in office. Mind you, the guy wasn't running for office and hadn't ran for a long time now. i just said, "I'd vote for him" because it's a shitpost.
FWIW that's actually a real quote.

Right down to business.
Before anything, if they flag too many people, those people are either going to submit or they will boycott and YT is going to walk it back or go out of business.
With that said, I know we should all be skeptical, but I'm reading that post and only see 1 thing wrong with it, and I'm going to re-iterate how it works and what it does:
AI checks for:
- Type of videos you're searching for
- Type of content you watch
- Age of the account (when it was created)
It asks: does children's content make up the majority of your time on YT and your account isn't very old?
If yes, then you're probably a child.
In which case, it takes the following actions on the account:
- Disable personalized advertising
- Safeguards to Recommendations (you won't get "Mature" content in your Recommendations)
- Limited repeated views of some kinds of content
- Turn on Digital Well-being tools
- Time Watched Profile (shows you how long you've been watching videos)
- Take a Break Reminders
- Scheduled Notification Digests (notifications are queued and pushed all at once)
- Disable Notification Sounds & Vibrations
- Turn off Autoplay
- Restricted Mode (filters out potentially mature content)
That last one is the one that we're all concerned about (I'm pretty sure many people don't care about the others). However, it's also important to note that "mature content" is usually dealing with death, violence, vulgur language, etc. And many channels have already censored themselves as to avoid being demonetized. <- That's important because, even if you get flagged, you're very likely still able to watch those videos (or the creators will clean up their content).
FWIW, the content I watch is DIY, true crime, documentaries, cooking, clips from TV shows, news/politics, and some sports.
I don't see anything there that would raise suspicion that I'm a child. And my account is very old.
Again, this is taking YT's word for it, so I could get flagged down the line.
And considering that it's already in effect, either the AI doesn't find something suspicious about my account or it hasn't gotten to me, yet.
In conclusion, I'm not freaking out until it at least starts being abused.

Remember when Elon/MAGAtards were buying up Teslas to support him for being "attacked" by the left?
Too easy.
In case anyone wants to watch it. 14:22 is the what inspired the thread.
Note: just copy the link rather than clicking it directly. I tried to put it in a code block but this site sucks and doesn't convert the URL to a code block.

But it's not a cult!
BTW, after massive backlash, they removed the policy (bottom pic has the old policy)
Did you know that if a defendant withholds or destroys evidence in a trial, a judge can instruct the jury to assume the evidence was unfavorable to the defendant?
So not only is it a legal concept, it's COMMON FUCKING SENSE to assume the worst when people are hiding something.
And why the fuck are you even in here if you're such an NPC who can't think for yourself? Fuck off to your GayAwakening with the other pedophile protectors.
