    No, not age restricted.

    Happens most frequently with using any VPN, which we use all the time at work and I often use at home or while traveling.

    But sometimes it just does it without.

    I think most people are signed into their gmail account or have been recently so the cookie is set. It’s crazy when you don’t have one how hard Google pushes you.

      YouTube doesn’t force you to sign in unless the content you’re trying to watch is 18+. That’s just how it works. Your IP address makes no difference.

      I’m not signed in to YouTube. Ever. On any device. I have never been forced to sign in to watch anything that wasn’t age restricted.

        How should I prove this to you then? You are wrong, it is not just age content.

        I could make a short video, or screen capture, but that’s more effort than it’s worth.

        I am telling you, this happens all the damn time and it’s getting annoying.
