Any suggestions on VPNs that do that?
Comment on So, has age verification really become the new normal?

For YouTube, use a VPN that terminates in Albania. Like magic, no more forced sign ins, or ads, or age checks.

The link doesn’t work, I think. It goes to an unrelated comment, explaining why to do that, but I asked which vpns do that.

Huh, you’re right, I don’t know how I read it so wrong. Anyway, to answer your actual question, most paid vpns will do that, and probably some free ones. My personal recommendation is mullvad vpn, they are by far the best company and they probably have all the features you’ll need

Private Internet Access works. But someone recently pointed out to me that they are owned by some not so great companies. Your choice.

Doesn’t get rid off age verifications.

im pretty sure you dont need to verify your age when using invidious
you could also just fake it

Age restricted videos didn’t play through Invidious, and in my case I need to provide a selfie with my passport for age verification so I’m not sure how to fake that.

Why is that?

Their laws don’t allow online advertising (or something, I’m not clear on the actual details).
No ads on YouTube, Spotify can still play ads for premium (but they don’t make any money from them), and you can play mobile games without having to deal with ads too.
