Some of YouTube's restrictions can prevent users from watching a video without having previously signed in and without proving they are over 18 years old.
This is logical since the content of the pages in YouTube is not always suitable for everyone. YouTube has a child-specific app that allows parents to control what their children can watch.
YouTube also applies an age restriction for viewing certain types of videos. These are usually videos with a lot of violence or nudity. But of course where it exists lock there is also an anti-lock. You can watch all the videos without having to prove that you are at least 18 years old.
If you're in front of a video asking you to sign in to see it, you do not have to. There is a pretty good trick you can skip the age restriction by changing the URL. Let's see how.
If the URL of a video on YouTube looks like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LRt3dSbS14
and due to content has an age limit, then all you have to do is delete the "watch?" from the Url and replace the second “=” with slash. So the url should now look like:
https://www.youtube.com/v/4LRt3dSbS14
This little trick is pretty old but still the easiest way to watch a video without having to login.
It also works independently browser that you use. While we love to update our readers with any tweaks that come online we would like to mention that if you are under 18 and find yourself in a video that is not suitable for minors it is best not to watch it because most of the time you just won't like it what you saw But if you see it, then you do so at your own risk.
