They're doing all of this to "protect kids" (read as: steal more information from their users). If they're doing it based off of search and watch history though, then the kids watching age-inappropriate/adult things will be flagged as adults and be fine while the adults who like kid-friendly stuff will get falsely flagged as teenagers/kids. Yeah, YouTube, great job at protecting the children. Governments and corporations sure like using us as scapegoats...

I was like 13 or something like that, and because you can get debit cards at that age in the UK, it just let me through like nothing. It was a really stupid system lol
