starting august 13th, YouTube will start asking for your id if your account gets flagged as under 18.
this comes with a BIG LIST OF ISSUES that I'm going to list now.
people will watch more because for regular videos you need to submit your id or whatever according to this video
other people will lose their fucking jobs because less people will use YouTube and they won't get paid as much
people will stop paying for premium because of how shitty the id thing is, and how bad the concept of the id system actually is
nobody is going to want to watch YouTube if they're gonna have to submit their fucking id, because its THEIR id, they don't want their INFORMATION GETTING FUCKING LEAKED.
and I'm worried that when they all move, the existing user-base of platforms such as tiktok and twitter will clash with the YouTube newcomers.
conclusion? YouTube is just fucked and all hell will break lose and then chaos and drama explosions everywhere aaaaaaaaa
