If you haven't joined the #youtube boycott, please consider. There are so many reasons the new ID policy is dangerous. It's not as hard to boycott as you might think. I'm a week strong!

Anyway, there's a general boycott of Youtube called for today, August 13th 2025, protesting Youtube testing AI Age Verification, among other nonsense. #YoutubeBlackout
#youtubeblackout today if you can. We do not want this privacy-killing, AI-run, age-assuming bullshit
I'm joining the #youtubeblackout in response to YouTube's new AI age verification policy, except I'm going to see how long it will take for me to stay off of it until they decide to reverse this, or at the very least, make a compromise.
It feels weird not uploading on a weekday that isn’t Sunday or a national holiday.
But please, I urge you all to not interact with YT, like that one jealous, toxic ex you had in high school. Just avoid YT at all costs for now until the stupid site fixes itself.
#YoutubeBlackout
So I can't find any formal coordination of this, but I would like to participate. I don't trust random socials w storing my ID
I won't be uploading or using YouTube until I have enough information to drop out or until this policy is corrected/safe #youtubeblackout

Welp, time to boycott Youtube! Their "age verification" thing they're rolling out is malicious at *best*. I refuse to interact with a platform pulling this nonsense. #YoutubeBlackout
STAND WITH CLIPPY!

I think the last youtube video I'm going to watch before the blackout is going to be a yugioh amv set to bring me to life. The same kind of vids i loved to watch all the way back in 2007 when i first started watching YouTube. #YoutubeBlackout #Yugioh #Evanescense #AMV
I normally try to keep my page drama free, but this is important as it affects myself and my fellow creators: On the 13th of August there will be a #YoutubeBlackout, meaning people are going to not use or open the app. This is a protest against YT's AI age verification they are trying to implement.
I used a post on the upcoming YouTube blackout as an oppurtunity to suggest video makers switch to PeerTube. I'm going to double down on degoogling. #YoutubeBlackout #Peertube
