My Google account is almost 20 years old at this point, and they still ask me for credit card verification every time I want to see an "age-restricted" video in YT (and "age-restricted" topics apparently includes Verilog programming).

Google can't predict anything.

They know your age. They just want your creditcard and a confirmation that it exactly you ( else they need to trigger the profiling algorithm for a new person).
