This is parents’ job, not Google’s. If you legally require Google to act like a parent, they have to do it to everyone.
I hope I won't be considered presumptuous, but I suspect you don't have children? It is simply impossible to monitor absolutely everything.
It's pretty infurating that I've had a Youtube account since 2006 (15 years ago), and now they're asking me whether i'm over 18. A basic calculation on their end could filter the accounts based on age, given the TOS of when they were created (e.g. if the TOS specified that I must be over 13, a 2006 account would mean I'm at least 28, therefore automatically verified).

Would it be worth it to just get a credit card for the sole purpose of youtube-dl? Maybe put some kind of limit on it, if possible?
I’d use a temp card from privacy.com or something.

Long time ago I remember reading about some service, that allows using single use credit cards. Last year I was looking for it, as many services cannot ne trusted with this information. But I could nothing like it. Maybe I was just dreaming... Getting a legit card like that could be possible, but I don't think its worth of hassle and possible costs. Some companies practically throw these cards on you, but usually the…
A few days ago, I clicked an age restricted video on Youtube and usually I just state that I am above 18 but now they ask for a credit card number or an identity card to prove it. I am not going to send this just to watch some random video clip that users have declared not appropriate to a young audience because it features a zombie. Seriously!
A credit card seems like a reasonable way to verify age. Can you think of a better way? Or do you think no content should be age restricted?
(I have no credit card. I approach 6 decades in age.)

Hmm, it's such a shame that we have a single point of failure for so much of internet culture, not to mention people's actual creative lives. This is one of the reasons I started using youtube-dl. I wanted to create an independent backup of all my favorite creators and contributors in the event that they have to leave or delete their channels. This content should belong to everyone. I wish I could trust that all my f…
You should consider using PeerTube instead, which is federated.
Recently, my 15 year old Google account started to nag me for my birthday. If Google was smart, they could have worked out that I'm old enough by now! (The account is older than 13 so definitely not a kid behind it, lol)
