My Google account is more than 18 years old and I hit an age prompt when I was trying to watch some FPGA video (out of all things). So no, account age is not necessarily a factor.

That makes sense. Golf has a minimum age of 35.

Yeah, they could/*should* infer your age just by the fact you're watching an FPGA video
