        They actually sent me an email one time that basically said: “We’ve changed some settings for you since yoi don’t look 18+”

        Yeah, it’s definitely a good idea to make absolutely sure they have your confirmed identity, just to watch some YouTube videos. Some people actually care about privacy.

        Maybe it’s a regional thing, they wanted some way to verify that I was really 18+. And Google requires a phone number if you want to create a new account, but I did make a couple more before this was a thing.
