ThisIsMe Blog #11: YouTube ID Verification??? What the heck???

This Is Me


Hey guys! 

Today is the day where YouTube just released there AI algorithm where they are now going through all of our videos and accounts to see if your under 18 and if you are you are going to be required to upload your ID or Credit Card or A selfie! Honestly I dont like that and if you think this is okay because they are '"Protecting kids" They need to do somthing different! 

They started this a few months ago in Europe and the UK and now it's here in the US! Creators like myself are scared for there channels because some of us look small when we really are older then we look! (if anyone out there can relate let me know! im 4'11 and im 21 and I just went to Vegas for my 21st birthday!) I dont understand why this has to happen! 

Also can we aknowlage that this is also a 3rd party system they are using so we dont know who could be getting our information! I honestly dont know what to do! What are other people doing to deal with this? Are they going to another app? another website? what do we do if our channels get banned because we dont upload our information! 

Also parents should be able to monitor there children and what there watching! There's YouTube Kids FOR KIDS! and they still think that its bad! Honestly there are 2 sides to this...

1. They keep rolling this out for months and I get targeted and have to delete my channel and spend all of my hard work on nothing!

OR

2. I dont get affected and things are okay and this is all just not true and everything returns to normal! 

Also kids are gonna find a way around this they are smart! I know I was! Thats why I became a techie because I learned everything there is to know about Tech and Apple and thats why I want a job there so I can show them my skills that I have learned over the years. I started my tech journey when I was about 7ish and also there is a baby picture I found (not gonna show you for privacy reasons) where im playing with my moms laptop! I think thats where I found my techie side! 

Anyways! I really dont like this and I hope I dont get effected and if I do you will see more blogs and posts on my other socials like instagram and Facebook and Twitter and Bluesky etc.


Thats all for todays blog, I know I haven't blogged in a while I have just been busy with work and YouTube videos! I will do my best to post more blogs now because I feel like when you write out what you want to talk about you feel really good about it and I do feel good about it! I just hope that you enjoy these as much as I do!

Anyways, Thank you so much for reading and I will see you in the next blog! PEACE! ✌️🩷

 Wednesday, January 1st, 2025  Hey Everyone!  Happy New Year! My name is Claire, and I’m a YouTuber. This is my first blog of the New Year! I have a YouTube channel called This Is Me, and it’s full of fun vlogs. I’ll also be sharing some behind-the-scenes stuff (more like the videos you won’t see but will be talked about) in these blogs. I’ll also be posting these blogs on my social media stories and channel. I hope you like them! Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see behind the scenes. (FYI: I won’t be posting about my family or personal stuff!) So, don’t ask about my family, friends, or personal info. I’ll only share the info I give you. I hope you like these and let me know what you want me to post and talk about. (Update on Tech Videos: Part 2 of the Apple Movie will be out soon. I’m working hard to get it to you soon!) I can’t wait to start this blog that I’ve been wanting to do for a while but just didn’t have the time. Now I do! I hope you like it. You’...

This Is Me Blog #4: New Years Resolution FAIL!/Should I start a Gaming Channel???! ~ January 11th, 2024

Hey Everyone!  How are you? I know I haven't posted in a while so here is an update! So not much has been going on, it's been a very slow week. I think it's just because the holidays are gone and we are slowly going back to normal. Update on my new years resolution. I have failed! 😭 I can't stop spending money! I think I have almost spent a hundred dollars already! probably more! I am so obsessed with shopping that my friends have called me a "shopaholic" I dont blame them! I LOVE shopping and getting new things and FOOD! I love food! I dont know what it is but every time I see a food place I want to go either because im hungry or im bored! Weird! But I am working on it. I have started to spend less at Starbucks! That's a good thing because that's what I spend most of my money on! But I have moved to other places! How do you not spend money on food not only is it good but because you want to? I have been trying to eat at home but it's not as good ...
