I made a post yesterday saying how you can no longer view age restricted content as I encountered a message from LibreTube saying it can not play age restricted content all I was trying to watch was a soccer video.
Turns out, I could not watch the video because there are certain videos that do not allow embedding according to @[email protected]
These age restricted videos that can not be played are also a very select few according to @[email protected], author of Piped, and member of NewPipe and LibreTube.
This is the video link for anybody that is curious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtN4H4jQx2M
I am posting this to prevent misinformation and have taken down the original post.
Can confirm, doesn’t work on my LibreTube :(
This is a bit concerning, since this is a hint that this could be a small test of a greater roll out. Typically they test new things on a small portion of content, and then expand as they get more confident about the changes.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=OtN4H4jQx2M
