I got flagged as a minor, despite an old account. They would not accept my card that I pay for premium with as a valid card. It's valid enough to pay them the stupid fucks.
You can do the selfie thing, except use a 4k video of someone talking to the screen and it'll probably work. I used an Evan Edinger video, scanned that and passed fairly easily. AI probably works if you can get a high fidelity image but all the free ones are well under 1080p and just don't really register.
