MODERATORS
Well, either they know my old account is an adult account or it's probably easy to break by using a YouTube video in the way that YouTube's own age verification is broken by YouTube videos.
It would probably be easy to break with a fake ID but people are iffy about those methods and refuse to speak about the existence of them.
Yeah probably, but I broke YouTube's age verification with a video from Evan Edinger and odds are discord will have the same flaw and I'll use the same guy again. Or discord will just know I'm older but YouTube didn't despite a 14yo account.
