Well, today is that day where YouTube goes around with the AI for your ID and age verification on your channel if you’re under 18. Now one of my good friends, Stefan Loncar who came to me with an update yesterday on DeviantArt, thank you for that Stefan. It turns out yours and mine are not going to get terminated. It's only going to restrict you from watching these videos that aren't made for kids, so if you are a kid or a teenager trying to watch good gaming videos where they cuss things out, I’m sorry but you’ll need to wait until you’re 18. So this is how the new policy is so you get to keep it. But keep in mind if you watch my videos you aren't going to watch them until you’re older. Since this is happening don’t worry it's going to be OK, It sucks I know but sometimes we need to consider. And if you've already done the whole setup thing with your age checking, ID, face scan, or whatever good job. Surprisingly nothing affects me from today. Except… I’m sick. Last night I didn't get enough sleep I was feeling gassy, I was coughing a lot, and my head was hurting. Don’t worry though I’ll be OK. I think I’m going to take the rest of the week off and see if I’ll feel better next week so there will be more videos to come. So yeah that's about it. But I hope you’ll have a good day and I hope nothing bad happened to your channel.

I feel like not enough people are remembering the fairly obvious fact that putting stuff as personal as a government ID or a Driver's License can put you in for a higher risk of identity theft, so I think that that being the thing to get you out of this tomfoolery is baffling. I am not panicking that much about this since I think a lot of what is happening is getting overinflated, but I surely hope that shifting what I was watching to "adult" things like football and watching a few age-restricted DOMFV videos was a trick to make sure this was going to trick the AI to finding out the truth.
