So you're saying you worship the God of Tetris?

I wonder if any inspiration came from "The Tetris God" by CollegeHumor 10 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alw5hs0chj0

Off topic: Since when YouTube started requiring ID for age verification? And why will this video be age-restricted in first place?

⬐ quacked

I've always thought that sketch was the funniest one on CH.

The Minesweeper one was good too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHY8NKj3RKs

Still one of my favorite videos ten years on. Always fun to see a fresh posting of it in the wild. :D

2008-2010 collegehumour was great

⬐ hansoolo

I have to verify my age for that... Duh!

⬐ iggldiggl

youtube-dl to the rescue!

(also never knew about that video, but it's great indeed)

Same. I refuse to give google my credit card details or ID for this. I've been on Youtube for about 13 years with this account, I'd have to have been 5 or less to not be old enough to view whatever I want now... What garbage.

⬐ seriousquestion

They don't accept your birthdate without a credit card or ID? Wow.

⬐ dkersten

Those are the only two options they presented me with...

Seems to be a new "feature". I'm also getting this as of an hour ago! Pretty stupid if you ask me, since my account is linked to all my Android devices, where I have Google Play installed and have purchased apps with a CC, so verifying my CC again seems to be lazy or greedy on their part. Alternately submitting a photo ID says it may take up to 3 days to verify. We really need a YouTube competitor sooner than later.

⬐ Moru

There are plenty of alternatives, try Newpipe on Android. Just another youtube client without the google source.

⬐ glenneroo

What about Windows? I hardly ever watch anything on my phone, the screen is much too small to be enjoyable. I just mean that since big G owns all of these products and happily links other preferences, they should also be able to link my CC.

Huh, so I clicked on make account and when I checked the "english instances" box, the first item in the instance list changed to Chinese. Guess that checkbox doesn't work so well.

⬐ wizzwizz4

It randomises the order. “English instances” just filters out instances which do not list English as a language; that doesn't mean English is the primary language of the instances that are left.

Someone could program the strategy from this CollegeHumor episode into Bastard Tetris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alw5hs0chj0
