One more reason to use an alt front-end, and clear/disable your watch/view history and not log into YT directly anymore, at least while you still can.
What alt front ends are there? How would you bypass the age check? Back in the day I didn't have an account and you could get around it using third party sites but those don't work anymore as far as I know.
Invidious mainly, and that doesn't use any YT accounts, it's the equivalent of watching YT logged out.
Also, Grayjay lets you log in through it but that probably doesn't bypass the age check if you're KYC'd.
If you're an active creator yourself though or even if you only have a few vids you made years ago that are still up, I'd set up PeerTube, Odysee, or both, and post those there while you still can, though.
honestly I didn't know invidious was still around. last time I tried to use it it was broken
There's only like, one viable instance though: inv.nadeko.net.
