Why are you using legacy centralized web 2.0 platforms ruled by fiat money? Put your video on IPFS, give it an ens.domain, mint an NFT for it. With an eth filecoin bridge it will fund its own censorship-resistance forever. That tech is great and has obsoleted web 2.0. Don't trust Google, self-govern!
I can't tell if this is satire.
I hope more people move their variety of content to Odysee, Rumble and other alt tech as that will help YouTube slowly lose their credible users.
The problem is that this does not happen often enough to be of any relevance so they simply and literally don't care, even if you are a paying customer. It's a valid reason not to use any Google services anymore, though. That won't harm Google nor will they change anything (the "no relevance" argument) but at least you get to sleep well at nights knowing you'll still have access to your "life" the next morning.
And is it really true that there are not enough engineers and product people reading stories like this and have a bit of that good old "Focus on the user and all else will follow" to make the system more humane?

If you think Google's AI for Spam is pretty bad, then you haven't experienced Twitter's. I've had a Twitter account suspended because their AI does not understand context. I'm not allowed to use the account until I delete the content, which I won't.
In any case, now that you've seen first hand the power of Big Tech, consider the advice of @fsflover and @pornel below. Strive to own you own content. Keep in mind that in cases like this, even HN is Big Tech.
I would imagine just a letter from a lawyer stating the facts of the incident would be enough to get real attention from google.
I mean, you pay for a service - they just canceled without further explanation. Shouldn't there be some rights left for normal people?
Otherwise yes, your story is a good (allmost daily by now) reminder, to reduce google wherever possible.
