Just about an hour ago, I received an email informing me that my YouTube account was terminated for violations of their “scams, spam, and deceptive content” policy. The email was long winded about how I must’ve uploaded something or other, or commented spammy/scammy content.
Just one problem: I have never uploaded a video in the 10 years I’ve had my account. I comment maybe twice a year when I actually have an answer to a question someone asked in the comments. I even paid for Premium for me and my family.
Well, guess I’m screwed because I doubt the appeal robot or whatever actually changes its mind when you submit one.
Glad I at least started deGoogling. This is a very close-to-home reminder of how dependent I am on them for their services.
They left the rest of your Google account alone? That’s interesting…
You always adblock on all of your devices, or most of them? Ever VPN?
Yep. I have access to everything else, just can’t view Youtube while signed in.
I disabled my adblock for YT, but I still use privacy badger and occasionally a VPN.
