Hey everyone, it's Bonus Dose Day! Hope you had a good Labor Day, but your ol' pal Buckley is back to work! September's a busy month with 5 bonus videos, and we're kicking it off with one about YouTube making one good change, then following it up with one really bad one. Are you an American Adult that YouTube thinks is a teenager? Let me know in the comments. Enjoy!
YouTube can't seem to decide whether or not to treat viewers like children or adults! Buckley looks at two new policies that rolled out in August: the first allows creators to swear in the first 7 seconds (previously this would limit your ability to monetize a video), while the second involves an AI deciding how old you REALLY are based on what you watch and how long you've had a YouTube account! Luckily, Google's always made sure to keep your data secure, so you should have no reasons to worry about giving them your ID... right? RIGHT?!

Youtube took away my ability to add links a couple years ago unless I provided a goverment ID lol, they can kiss my ass.

I appreciate it illustrates your point, and I know you like dark humour, but I’ve followed you for a long time and thought if you knew what it was it might be too dark even for you. Big love from the UK
