I had this happen recently with Freetube and the, very strangely, age restricted new trailer for a Darktide update. Hope the big brains figure out a work around. Even invidious fallback wouldn’t play it.
We need a newer pipe
new new pipe
“God dammit Jian Yang!”
Hahaha this got me good, just finished watching Silicon Valley.
What would you say if I told you, there is an app on the market-
WE’RE PAST THAT
Nude pipe?
Maybe… some sort of hub?
I mean, that’s just a penis 🤷
Nintendo NEW Nintendo Newpipe

OP is a screenshot from newpipe, they are very rigid on adding those things, that’s why you need to download other forks to get sponsorblock for example.
Time to use my old yt account.
I’m surprised more people don’t create fake accounts with fake identities?
Be Goliath Giantman who lives in tinytown, Nebraska. Use the address of a Dominos.
Then Go one step farther. Make a social media profile. Post AI photos of Goliath’s family and dog. Assign him the job you wish you had. Sign him up for ancestry .com and create the family tree you want.
“Please verify your identity by adding a phone number.” “Please enter the verification code sent to your phone.”
There’s ways to bypass it. I’ve bought a virtual number.
And if you search for “How to create an account without a phone number” on whatever platform you’re using, you might find a backdoor.
You can buy eSIMs from countries that don’t require your documents.
Where? And wouldn’t it be some expensive plans, as you’d be roaming in a different country?
No, it’s pretty cheap to get a SMS-only eSIM. It’s like 6 dollars per month.
Ok genius idea 💀
I wonder how much effort would be needed for going further?
Create the AI family pictures. You’ll need a bunch of different ones. Profile pics, some bar picks. Throw a wedding in there. And some completely random situations.
Can you make a person, and them propt it to always use the same result for different pictures?Make a resume. You’ll want different jobs in the past probably. Maybe they moved around.
The ancestry idea is brilliant.
Make up a dramatic backstory and post vague updates.
“My daughter’s quinceañera was last week. No photos, after ‘the incident’. Can’t believe it happened again 😭”
9xbuddy works fine to download age-restricted videos. It’s probably not FOSS, though.
Use PipePipe
To wit: PipePipe is the only one that works for me now to get past the “log in to confirm you’re not a bot” viewing any video. Recent PP releases allow you to log into your YT account (which will also solve this age problem), my ISP uses CGNAT and my IP is shared by millions and changes frequently triggering the YT bot filter for every video. :-/
Is it better than NewNew?
That’s not on F-Droid.
Oh, it IS a real one? My mistake lol, checking it out
It’s on izzyondroid repo
I don’t get it. How do you think age-restricted videos could work without logging in?
Have you tried Grayjay? Grayjay gets updates quickly and so I rarely see the issue.
I think greyjay is the best YouTube app. I gave up on Newpipe the moment Firefox for Android reenabled extension support. I didn’t like the fact that Newpipe needed a fork just for Sponsor block support.
Well, with newpipes forks are possible in order to implement controversial features, with Grayjay they are unlikely because of its non-open-source license.
At least its plugins, which are what needs to be regularly updated as platforms change, are open source. I imagine someone will clean-room reverse-engineer the core app and make an open source one that uses the plugins.
Also, Louis Rossmann said they only reserve the right to go after forks to prevent a situation like all the shady ad-ridden NewPipe ones flooding Google Play Store.

Reverse-Engineering and reimplementing something is a lot of work, especially if it is a moving target that is still actively developed. I don’t expect anyone to do it.

That is some kind of hand wavy reasoning that might come from someone that could be sponsored by them. Louis should do better than taking any company by their word and promises. And spreading FUD about NewPipe (and by extension all of Open Source software) is also a straw man argument. An untrustworthy software repository is not a argument against the open source software application, but against the software repository and their maintainers.
If you are concerned with that, you should stop using Google Play store.
The same way porn sites have worked since the 90s. Honor system.
Just FYI. Grayjay is only source available, but not open source like newpipe and its forks.
What’s the video? Curious is piped has the same issue
In this case it was an updated version (even though I specifically searched for the original, but that’s a seperate issue) of Michael Jackson’s They Don’t Care About Us video with some graphic images of war and starvation.
I think it’s like this with all age-gated videos, though 😮💨
Yeah, looks like piped has the same issue
Oh that is a bad development
It happens on Youtube Music on the web also.
I don’t sign in on my work computer because last time I paid for food my Google account hijacked my chrome browser.
So now I simply can’t listen to whole albums because some songs are age restricted
It’s been a while since I used chrome, but I used to use incognito to avoid that from happening. You can log into your services in the incognito session and when you’re done and close the incognito session, the temporary folder with your session stuff will get deleted, leaving the normal chrome browser unaffected.
Protect the children: “Hey kids, have you heard about raid shadow legends? Why not go borrow mum’s credit card because it’s free.”
Fun insider fact - the gambling industry learned things from that game.
Tell me more
Consider moving to LibreTube or Clipious, got annoyed as well
What do you do when those add age-restrictions? They’re a legal restriction after all, not a random corporate decision.
They’re a legal restriction after all, not a random corporate decision.
That’s not true. If it was, the videos would only be age gated in places where it’s required by law. That’s not the case here in Denmark, to name just one example.
It’s 100% corporate “err on the side of censorship” bullshit.
I’ve tried those, both are extremely laggy when they work at all for me…
LibreTube stoped working for me quite while ago “log in to confirm you are not a bot” on pretty much every instance.
Because piped is broken,From what i tested.
Does anyone know why? They are using IPv6 addresses so theoretically there should be infinite IPs.
Honestly YouTube should try to come up with some sort of deal to allow Piped and other third party frontends. Maybe have some sort of paid API access or some agreement to allow YouTube to use piped servers as a cache. The overhead for YouTube is large and maybe they could lower it with community help.
I try to use YT as little as possible these days. Used to stream a lot of indie music, not talking indie radio guitarists no I mean the REAL indie basement dwellers, but since YT took away play-all buttons I moved to SoundCloud. Just type in a song you know in the genre you want and let it autoplay.
If you dig indie music from basement dwellers check out funkwhale sometime, we are building the fediverse version of grooveshark.
Well the first roadbump you’ll run into is that I’ve never heard of grooveshark. Power to you, those on the Fediverse who persevere will benefit immensely during these early adoption years.
Well darn, guess I should have said Spotify. Grooveshark predated Spotify and was centralized but allowed uploading and sharing.
Soulseek is another a great place for sharing and talking about music, its one of the oldest p2p network that’s still active.
Might be internet generational. I’ve never had a spotify account, but I lived on Grooveshark back in the day
youtube-dl won’t even download them now.
You can, if you pass cookies from your browser to the command line. The easiest way is to specify your browser, e.g.
yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefoxI don’t have an account so that probably won’t work. Thanks though!
