How exactly is this YouTube age estimation algorithm supposed to work?
Does this shit just trigger after a certain amount of time watching any mix of videos or does the current generation of kids actually listen to MSI and an album that's older than YouTube to boot?

we are in the ai age my based retardos, the estimation works by training a NN on the videos watched by the millions of users that already specified their ages. The NN then guesses what your age is by taking what you've watched. It's that simple.

A better question is, why does a platform that literally doesn't host any 18+ content (not "hate speech," nor extreme violence, and certainly not anything remotely risqué) ask their users to verify that they're not underage?
Imagine if you were to the grocery store and they asked for your id to verify your age even though they only sell orange juice. Except, of course, the grocery store couldn't care less about your id, but Google really wants to have it to sell your data.

>saying black people are violent and steal is racist
>saying you are 16 based on your video watch history is a technically sound approach

racism has no place on /g/

Based on how black people have their own television channels, it can be safely assumed that their entertainment interests don't 100% overlap with white people. This would also mean that they have a different watch history on YouTube, profiling based on this data would actually be racist. But that's nothing new, algorithms and AI never take long to turn racist.

My Google account is 18 years old. If I see this this ever I'm calling shenanigans.

I had to attach a credit card to my Google account to age verify some years ago, but had previously had an older credit card attached to it. I had registered that account back when Gmail was still an invite-only beta too. Either they're not as good at knowing everything about everyone as people claim or they just wanted more of my data.

rng
eventually everyone will be asked to identif---- age verify, because why not? more data for the data god.
>>
>>108491544
are you retarded nobody said behaviour couldn't be linked back to race. It's the basic "yeah it's always them that are bad actors but not all of them are bad actors" if you can't understand the nuance maybe that's why YouTube thinks you are 16.

>>108491440
Three roblox videos and you're fucked.

>>108491544
people ARE profiled based on their watch interests. it's used for recommending other videos and, of course, advertising. the profiling just isn't public, you have no clue what target groups google puts you in.
>>
>>108491440
youtube fucked over the feed page, i can't even refresh anymore without the same videos loading, 'not interested' does not work anymore, so i don't have a reason to watch anything other than stuff that i already know

Age of channel + the videos / music you listen to.

luckily I've kept all my youtube channels from trolling over these 20 years so Im set for life
