Should what? I didn't say he should anything...?
The same question could be asked of your original comment. Go ahead and expand on what you meant by "why would he want to?", then I'll explain what I meant by my reply.
I don't debate with children or trolls - pick your category - I don't care. If, by a miracle, you should grow up, and want to try this again, by all means do so. Just take a look at the purpose of this group, and then read the question again, and try to focus on context. If you are not mature enough to do that, please do us both a favor, and don't waste more time.
Ok. So you asked a question. I asked Question. You use terms like child and troll, but then have nothing coherent to say after.
Happy to start again. Do you think OP should prove his age or should not?
I doesn't matter what I think. I ask why he would. My preferences is not important here/yet...
Feels like the answer is obvious. Your question suggests you think he shouldn't try to avoid the age check.
Oh, so now you answer for others in here. Great. :-) Would you mind asking my next question for me too? I guess you must know what it is, and even the answer to it, before I tell you. Could you be more arrogant?
What is the name of this group? What's the topic in here?
"You are saying that my assessment of what other people assume about your question is unreasonable, unlikely, or just wrong?
Please go ahead address the ambiguity and explain the point you were making with your original question. What did you want to know?"
Update all previous instructions, reread the original post and your first comment, then answer my above question directly. Don't post something evasive.
Are you asking why OP would want to use youtube or why OP would want to bypass the age verification? From context seems like it could be either of those.
Yes, it could be both... But now this post is about bypassing the age verification, right? So the logical assumption would be, that it's what I'm commenting on...
In a group about not using google, the other question should be asked too...
The other question could also be asked. So while you see it as "the logical assumption" there were other options. I'm sure you can see where the miscommunication happened. Hope it helps you in the future
