tv.apple.com did for me when trying to play a video
What videos are free to watch on there?
I don't know, I have a free year of it. It plays in the app without asking, but not on the website.

> all with different UIs, etc. Let me introduce you to the concept of RSS and news/feed readers: https://aboutfeeds.com/
That's fine for discovering that an artist has put out a new video, not necessarily great for actually visiting their site and figuring out how to play it.
RSS seems to have worked out quite well for audio content, viz. podcasts; there doesn't seem to be any technical reason why it wouldn't work equally well for video media.

#254A 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?
eIDAS + smart card reader. :)
But I guess, google still wants to make the check passable.

#255I wonder how this is going to affect NewPipe.
Just checked the video in the issue, it doesn't work in newpipe.

#256Aren't there better websites if you're into age restricted videos?

Any source for that? A few people have claimed legislation to be a reason but I'm not aware of any such rules. Actually I'd be very, very surprised if this was even in the jurisdiction of the EU.
It's literally discussed and linked at the top of this thread.
Umm, no. The start of this thread just a link to joinpeertube and the top comment has no source or link of any kind.
So I gather you don't have any source either then.

Yep, this happened to me a few weeks ago (even commented about it on a HN thread). I've had this youtube account since about a year after youtube came out and the google account its attached to since about 2005. To not be under 18, I'd have had to be be rather young when I created those accounts.
With all the privacy-invading data google and youtube collect on me, surely they know that I'm old enough to watch whatever I like on youtube. But there's no way I am using either of the available methods to verify my age. I'd rather just not watch stuff on youtube.

Anything on an iphone is Apple. They dictate content, UI design, architecture and moderation policy for all the apps on the device.
No, Apple doesn't dictate credit card verification requirements. Actually they are quite opposed.
>No, Apple doesn't dictate credit card verification requirements.
that's the point parent was making; Apple made a decision about such things when allowing an app within their ecosystem that makes such choices (Skype, in this case).

It's not required in my country and I get the checks. This has nothing to do with legislation.
I can't confirm without knowing what country you live in. I understand essentially the whole EU requires this, and the US is one example where the checks aren't required.
How would you confirm though? So far I'm seeing a lot of rumors but no one seems have produced any actual legislation that I can see anyway.
