So I was watching random YouTube videos, and suddenly YouTube is like: “hey, we need to verify you are at least 18 years old!”
“Okay,” I think, “they are probably going to ask me about the day of my birth, and then use some advanced math to determine my age...”
...but instead, YouTube is like: “Give me your credit card data, I swear I am totally not going to use it for any evil purpose ever, it’s just my favorite way of checking people’s age.”
Thanks, but I will pass. I believe that giving my credit card data to strangers I don’t want to buy anything from is a really bad policy. The fact that all changes in YouTube seem to be transparently driven by a desire to increase revenue, does not increase my trust. I am not sure what exactly could happen, but… I will rather wait for a new months, and then read a story about how it happened to someone else.
(What, you thought I was trying to watch some porn? No thanks, that would probably require me to give the credit card number, social security number, scans of passport and driving license, and detailed data about my mortgage.)
YouTube lets me watch the video (even while logged out). Is it a region thing?? (I’m in California, USA). Anyway, the video depicts
dirt, branches, animals, &c. getting in Rapunzel’s hair as it drags along the ground in the scene when she’s frolicking after having left the tower for the first time, while Flynn Rider offers disparaging commentary for a minute, before delcaring, “Okay, this is getting weird; I’m just gonna go.”
If you want to know how it really ends, check out the sequel series!

And that’s why I don’t know how Tangled should have ended.
