The ones still in school are turned off with the term 'school' *snickers*. And among those who does, they've probably set their profile to a (random) older age to be able to view age-restricted videos on YouTube.

I don't have an age 'problem' accessing restricted contents (31 here) and I do set my Youtube profile correctly, but if I don't care about about the site I usually just do a quick scroll to look for the 1980s or 70s birth year and click at one. Sometimes I can get to the 1930s if I drag too far :]

The ratio of people supposedly born on jan 1st may be an indication.

"'m sure a lot of ages are fake, but if you're faking your age would you be more likely to choose being 50 or 60 than 20, 30 or 40?"
As anyone who reads spy novels knows, it's best to stick as closely to the truth as possible. True, in this case you could probably get away with a wild lie, but an accomplished liar would know to maintain effective lying habits so you are more likely to lie effectively when the chips are down.
At least, that's my theory

You're talking Baby Boomers here, the first computer generation. To us computers are fantastic and we often have an insatiable thirst for more of this stuff (and some money to spend too). Younger generations are somewhat blase. Then too, there are an awful lot of us.
