Youtube will try to force a sign in otherwise which is bad for privacy.

invidious can't do it sometimes.

replacing 'https://www.youtube.com' with these sometimes work:

https://yt.zoopid.com

nsfwyoutube.com

youtubensfw.com

https://hooktube.com

I use yewtu.be and never get asked for age as i do in YouTube.

[–] Lessgoo@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But yewtu.be doesn't let you download anymore

What is that? invidious?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped this apparently. Looks similar to invidious, but it's not the same

Making a token account for it works, except in countries where they require ID.

[–] Reaton@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, there are countries where YT require ID?! wtf

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes in some European countries you need to show ID to watch age restricted content. It's stupid.
