Age verification is fine, at least in theory. It’s the implementations that are bad.

I sometimes wonder what HN would be like with age verification.

I doubt we have that many underage kids here.

I think you'd be surprised.

Also, imagine being able to filter posts by the age of the writer. I think it would be interesting to be able to compare the responses to a post by age.

Or to just filter everything by age, and view HN as anything from AI Hype Club to Graybeard's Tavern.

If nothing else, it would get rid of all the bots and AI nonsense.
