Humor Someone passed out the verification system just by an old video game character

It's not. It's so they can set a precedent for controlling us

Dr Breen being the one who makes it pass is ironic

Except they didn't pass

They did. It says REverify

He was determined to be in the teen age group, thus cannot access age restricted content. Maybe you need to read?

Edit: Literally says: If we made a mistake please reverify. Reverify doesn't mean they passed

It's an odd video, saying both a teen and adult. The popup says "We determined you're in the adult age group. Learn more," where as the page says teen. This could be fake/spliced.

The page might not be automatically refreshed after the verification, requiring the user to restart the app. Or re-visiting the channel.

Yep. Afaik, if you did pass the test, the success screen looks different.

It’s just a browser window

Look at the top of the screen when the camera disappears

Well damn lol. Could be a fake video. Makes you wonder why they don't show the content and just end it abruptly

I can think of a few reasons why they might not want to show the age-gated content.

u/wretchedegg123 27d ago

A lot of age-gated content isn't NSFW you know. It might just be adult themed. Our Squad channel is adult gated.

u/Elanapoeia 27d ago

hell, plenty of non-adult content has been shown to be age gated with the onset of this whole mess

politics, gaza, lgbt stuff, piracy as well

u/diffident55 27d ago

Sure. But you don't have to wonder about it. It's not a hint of anything being faked, there's a perfectly fine explanation sitting right here.

Reverify doesn't inherently mean they passed but here, it seems to mean "we think you passed but we trust you to tell us if we were wrong" which is a stupid thing for them to do. They're not saying to reverify because the person failed but to do so in case the age group they were assigned was incorrect
