i really hope youtube cancels that stupid ass ai age detection thing they're planning on doing

for those who don't know (rant incoming): youtube is planning on releasing an ai system for users in the us that just. decides what age you are based on what you watch
which is absolute bullshit and will probably mislabel pretty much any neurodivergent person as a baby (as ive heard some people say). which is seriously worrying for many users and i think i'm gonna straight up boycott youtube when it happens, if it even (hopefully not) does. (unrelated but darflen's character limit is very high, thanks i need this space to rant) i'm really fucking disappointed with this and i seriously don't know what ill do

in conclusion: ai can go fuck itself, i hate this pure bullshit disguised as "protecting the kids" (which should be UP TO THE PARENTS), if i got anything wrong let me know, and lastly watch bob's burgers (it's peak)

    ADDITION: my initial response to reading this was "this isn't going to affect newpipe/freetube, so i guess i'm good" but given how youtube has acted in the past (ie. adblockers), the odds aren't great. i'm surprised youtube hasn't fully made alternative clients infeasible already.
