I'm not giving google my documents to confirm my identity, I'll pass
As if they don't already know everyones age by now from our collected data.

Documents? I've never submitted any documents to login to any website before. Just give it a fake name with a made up birth date .
Unfortunately Google requires a phone number, which is linked to my person verified by documents. So it's not really private or anonymous. If you run a normal Android Google knows who you are anyway.

You don't have to do that, just make a blank account with fake info and out a fake birthday

Oh that is a bad development
Classic actions of a horrible company doing horrible things.
"It's for the safety of the children"
I'm still mad at them for disabling the "add to watch later" button on video marked as "for kids".

youtube-dl won't even download them now.
You can, if you pass cookies from your browser to the command line. The easiest way is to specify your browser, e.g. yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox
I don't have an account so that probably won't work. Thanks though!

i don't understand why people don't just use revanced and ublock?
My main problem is that freetube perfectly remembers video position, without fail.
YouTube always fails

I don't like having a google account that has google tracking any video I watch. Also... the recommendations are more addicting and with Tubular (NewPipe fork) and Freetube I just imported my subs and follow them a bit. Never had to deal with the shitty youtube website once. Also, ReVanced still uses the proprietary YouTube apk and I prefer free software on my phone

Never got revanced to work on my phone (in spite of reading all the documentation and online advice, doing literally everything that was supposed to make it work short of jail breaking or changing to Graphene) and as for ublock, I use it but I prefer YouTube on a dedicated client to a browser tab since I usually have far too many of the latter open at a time..
Besides, unlike revanced, NewPipe worked perfectly out of the box and it seems like PipePipe still does, so..
have you tried revanced manager? i typically just download revanced manager, pop over to apkmirror and get the recommended version (in this case 19.43.41), downloading the v8 package, going back into revanced manager and clicking storage, selecting the apk, and then letting it run. if you select the custom branding patch you don't have to uninstall the original youtube.

How does Revanced even work.
I mean, newpipe is just download install and it works.
Anyone have a tutorial?
(Also how would Revanced bypass age restricted if you need to sign in before youtube even sends the video over to you? Does Revanced use burner accounts like Aurora store?)

I try to use YT as little as possible these days. Used to stream a lot of indie music, not talking indie radio guitarists no I mean the REAL indie basement dwellers, but since YT took away play-all buttons I moved to SoundCloud. Just type in a song you know in the genre you want and let it autoplay.
If you dig indie music from basement dwellers check out funkwhale sometime, we are building the fediverse version of grooveshark.

Protect the children: "Hey kids, have you heard about raid shadow legends? Why not go borrow mum's credit card because it's free."
Fun insider fact - the gambling industry learned things from that game.

I had this happen recently with Freetube and the, very strangely, age restricted new trailer for a Darktide update. Hope the big brains figure out a work around. Even invidious fallback wouldnโt play it.
there's userscripts you can get for adguard for windows and tampermonkey that allow you to watch age-restricted stuff without being signed in.
Why can't invidious and piped do that?

Have you tried Grayjay? Grayjay gets updates quickly and so I rarely see the issue.
Just FYI. Grayjay is only source available, but not open source like newpipe and its forks.
