This is outrageous, especially since you can not create a google account without a phone number anymore.

    I haven’t seen any changes from YouTube recently, the ways we fetch age restricted content still seem to work for most videos. However, this method may not work for all videos as YouTube has different levels of age restrictions afaict. I’ve seen very few videos fall under that category personally.

    If anything were to change in the future, I may consider implementing something similar to what this extension does (or use their API) in Piped.
