On Youtube, to watch videos that (for example) show (mildly) violent protests, sex education or even non-sexual nudity, you have to create a google account and send google a picture of your government ID.
Meanwhile on porn sites you just click the "I am over 18 years old" button.

@aylamz Yeah, this has made me rely on yt-dlp for watching certain videos because in no universe am I sending Google a photo of my driver's license.

@boo_ does yt-dlp even work for age restricted videos? because something like Newpipe does not

@aylamz Sometimes it does, and other times it doesn't. If YouTube breaks it, then yt-dlp usually gets a fix pretty soon from my experience.
