ok well, for my future animations, its gonna be in newgrounds and only newgrounds due to age verification becoming a thing on YouTube soon. Not only UK, but the US as well and probably worldwide eventually, which it sucks cuz I was starting to think about making content kinda on there again
i doubt that they'll ever revert that ID verification thingy anytime soon, at least what i thought cuz for some reason it takes so many business days and/or a whole entire decade for them to realize how stupid this is.
i always be seeing dumb shitty features getting added to social medias and just never goes away, no matter how many people pulling up complaints about it. Of course, people can't do much without YouTube so they're just gonna give up their ID just to use it, and maybe get doxxed if the data leak happens. that's just it man.
Speaking of massive censorship going on, im making an artwork based of that. Idk what to do afterwards since at some point, the whole internet is gonna be inaccessible soon. Unless if this site bypasses it, maybe i'll publish some music here besides Bandcamp and SoundCloud too??? I'll just give this a month or two to see what happens next.
i may or may not post more updates, i dont use this as much as before but im trying to be more active on this platform again.
anyways stay away from YouTube on the 13th this month. I dont know if boycotting it can actually work tbh. they did try telling us not to eat lunch while watching youtube lmao

A couple friends of mine thinks it's a bit of an over-reaction since you need to give your ID for monetization on Youtube, and is probably the same for premium subscriptions on sites like Newgrounds, but it's still infuriating nevertheless that ID will be needed to just WATCH content.
Anyways, I'm glad Newgrounds knows to be less hands-off with its users (minus an account to see adult content), and other than my gmail, I haven't given Newgrounds any of my information. It's always awesome seeing new content uploaded to this site, and we'd be honored to see you add to the growing community
