    So, if you’re a child, watch some videos about budgeting, maybe a few cooking videos?

    I dunno, what are some categories of video no youth would ever watch?

      Vanlife videos, cooking shows, and politics should make YouTube believe you’re an adult. But hell I subscribe to gaming channels, with watching gamers play games. Will that get me labeled a child.

      Watch videos about planning your retirement, listen to some classical music and the Beatles. Finish the session off by searching for arthritis

      They’re looking for people under 13 I assume.

      In other words, I think that’s the diving line. So I don’t think 12 year olds are budgeting.

        Makes sense, as all services I’ve encountered that mention age in regards to data collecting imply that it’s illegal to harvest those under 13. Mobile games and other services would not harvest data if you state your age as well below 13, but the increasingly vast majority just say “we will be harvesting you; by clicking this button or making an account you confirm that you are over 13 years of age…” Because, you know, real child protection laws are in effect.
