    Works for me…

    Anything special about your account?
    Family Link restriction or so?

    I also haven’t seen a “confirm your age” message up to now.
    Maybe a country-specific restriction?
    Where are you from?

      Tried it on the duckduckgo browser without an account and it didn’t work. Just said no results found.

        Okay, I see, didn’t notice the “login” on the screenshot before.
        But then it kinda makes sense that the the most restrictive default filters are active.

          No it doesn’t. It’s about friction. They want people logged in to better monitor them and collect their data. If someone uses their service while logged out the platforms make it difficult as possible in as many ways as possible to “encourage” people to create an account and log in. “Protecting the children” is just a satanic panic excuse. PARENTS are responsible for managing their children’s online activities. Expecting platform providers to be the arbitrators of morality for our kids (or for adults) is how we ended up with Elon Musk’s fucked up CSM generator on twixxer.

      YT’s own search is garbage anyway. Whenever I try to use it, it’s completely useless. Language preferences are also non-existent anymore, it seems. Even if I set everything to English and the query is also in English, it still gives me only results in local language.

    they definitely have the resources to whitelist valid combinations, but some shirt ran the numbers and decided it wouldn’t bring enough money in

      Playing devil’s rusted avocado, if I know anything about mature content submissions, they’ll latch onto any whitelisted combo as soon as it’s discovered and dilute the actual desired content.

        but that’s also true of literally any other keyword out there. They wouldn’t particularly be driving any more traffic since that’s not what the user was searching for, they’d just be getting their whole site delisted.

      If those who have even heard about LBRY all started exclusively using it today, youtube wouldn’t even feel the traffic drop.

        That is exactly the problem. I wander why much better platform is one that majority of people didnt even heard of. And much worse platform is the one that eweryone uses…?

        Shouldnt we compare two by technology and see whic one is better instead of just using the popular one…? Because diference is huge!

          Do you…do you really wonder this? How, exactly, would you expect the masses to learn about something that has a zero dollar marketing budget?

      I don’t have a Google account. I’m avoiding Google in general, but even when I want to make an account for work purposes, it tells me that my phone number has been used too many times for some odd reason.

    I really hope those kids they have saved never realize they themselves are naked below their clothing. They’d instantly die fatally of lethal shock.

    Insane how weighted response filtering and graph search have existed for eons, to say nothing about the fact the search query could be pre-parsed by an LLM/“AI”, and only now do these moronic companies use hard keyword filters.

    Makes you wonder if it’s really “for the children” or just attempts at hard-censoring to train their future AI models.

      Repeat after me: It’s NEVER about the children. It’s ALWAYS about control. The EPSTEIN class cares not for your children except how to exploit them and profit off your compliance.

      They’ve been censoring stuff like this for years and years before llms even existed man. People are like so up in arms about ai and all the bullshit there that they forget about how things were even 3 years ago. If you notice one of the biggest things on here is the dude isn’t signed in if you’re not signed in then it’s going to ask if you’re legit or not.

    Facebook marketplace wouldn’t let me search for an LSD for my car, I had to search for a limited slip differential, which gave me a ton of results for posts that had “LSD” in the listing.
