It's awkward that the author feels they can't morally post an example, because it's impossible to judge the claims when only the least-strong evidence is presented.

Is there a way to view videos deemed nsfw without signing into a google/youtube account?

There's a site that you can use by adding nsfw in the front of the YouTube domain (so you get nsfwyoutube.com), but last time I tried it didn't worked. Not sure if it was a temporary issue or if YT is blocking them.

Youtube has stepped up their game wrt to age restricted videos. You are now forced to watch them on youtube.

Previously could get around it using the /embed/ url or third party sites like youtuberepeater. Seems like these methods have been closed.

> It's using technology to identify age-restrictive content so that when viewers discover age-restricted videos embedded on most third-party websites, they will now be required to log in to watch those videos in order to verify their age.

youtube-dl works

Use NewPipe

If you have VLC installed you can copy the address and then past it into VLC then select the play option. It works most of the time, and worked with the first video I tried.

You can also enqueue them, if you want to play more back to back. I normally use it in conjunction with the RSS feed of channels.

This is, in my observation and that of a few others, a serious problem in journalism and serious scholarly work - in which we debate the morality and meaning of materials without showing examples for the reader to make up their own mind, and sometimes even lacking in a description. However, it's understandable too - some material may not only be too unsavory for the content carrier/publisher, but it may even be illegal in where the content is sold. A scholar working in Japanese Studies on the topic of media and sex was stopped at the Canadian border and interrogated when a search threw up documents containing the word 'rape' on his laptop.

Activists, however, may have more leeway. Documentaries on animal cruelty and slideshows from anti-porn activists (to name two examples I'm familiar with) are much less hesitant - their goal is to rouse emotions and face-value judgements, so long as the viewer is primed to interpret the materials in the desired way.

The author tells you how to find things.

The thumbnails are more Rated-X than I anticipated, and I wouldn't want to link to any of those videos either.
