Spamming on the internet gets you suspended? Long overdue.
oh wow! there must be more backstory to this. finding it hard to believe that whole google accounts got suspended for spamming a youtube video chat!
That's outrageous.
That's your real-life, not just your online-life. Your GMail account isn't even related at all to your YouTube identity.
Remember: if you aren't _at least_ paying for your e-mail service you don't own your own mailbox. When was the last time you made a backup of your GMail account? What contingency plan do you have in-place if Google ever accidentally, unintentionally, or in this case, intentionally, shuts it down?
(Disclaimer: I pay $20/mo for an Office 365 E3 account for my personal mailbox)

This is why I avoid as many google properties as possible. Who even knows what actions might get my Gmail account disabled. And when they do, there’s no chance of their support system fixing it. The ban bot decided a rule was violated, and when reviewing its decision the ban bot unsurprisingly decides the same thing on appeal. So no, I’m not going to start shopping with Google Wallet no matter how many coupon offers…
The real issue here is that (reportedly) the people who spammed got their GMail accounts shut down. That's outrageous. That's your real-life, not just your online-life.

I would also recommend never storing mission-critical stuff only in your email. Losing the contents of your inbox should be the least of your concerns if there’s a chance you might lose access to your account. There are far worse repercussions - e.g. a) how do you update everyone else's record of your email address? b) how many services have you locked yourself out of, or made doing so much more likely?
It's time people separated the hosting of email from the interface (the address).
Actually they call this stressful work and actively explicitly are working towards not getting workers to do this work for their own benefit if you believe HR and the mental health supporters of this policy.
I forget the actual term it's something like "Mental Health Ops'.
Why should Google make their contactors suffer digging through video chat when they can get an AI to do it for them? This is literally their policy, it's not satire.
