So you're pushing for DeFi and all things decentralized, but whining that the centralized service has enforced its power upon your content about decentralization there? Nice.

#22Unlucky. It might not even be keyword matching, AI systems in use a far dumber than that. AI systems are mostly trained random noise and it can be impossible to know what set them off.
Even if you get this resolved, its not a bad idea to create a new YouTube account, reupload videos you want to keep. And keep good OpSec to avoid them being "linked".

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
Same for me, it feels like it's in a uncanny valley between clearly satiric and something some (not all/many) people (from the Web3.0 & DeFi) community might say.
Just another example of Poe's law
Poe's law: take the absinthe, or the absinthe takes you!

#24>I am a paid Youtube Music subscriber and I can't login to even listen to my own music anymore. Amazing.
I guess when Youtube cancels your service they don't need to pay back any subscription fees for the month or whatever amount of the time you are paid up for?

#25There is only room for one emperor without cloths
Naked co-emperors sounds like a very modern take authoritarianism and body positivity.

#26Personally I surely would not want to go that route, but maybe suing(or the threat of it) helps, if you know a trustworthy lawyer? 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…
small claims court, obviously, require them to send someone somewhere to appear.

#27Because crypto is a scam…? Edit: just look at the latest 1.5 billion tether scam
Which might not be a scam.
I'm not saying it's not a scam either.
But it's something where it's really not clear if it's a scam or not.
Because minting money is a pretty normal thing in finance, especially if you want to avoid deflation.
And for any normal currency deflation is one of, maybe the worst thing which can happen to it.
Which puts a strange view on crypto currencies as many of them are fundamental deflationary.
New they do have the benefit of (in general) not being bound to the economics of a country, and hence forth might be ok with being deflationary.
But even then if you create a crypto currency which is meant to be used as a currency inflation is still bad.
Hence why IMHO Bitcoin is a security which you happen to be able to use a currency, not a currency.
But that's not true for all crypto currencies, which likely lead to regulatory nightmares. Both for the regulators and even more so for anyone who wants to use crypto currencies as currencies, as the crypto security BitCoin is currently the face of crypto currencies.
It's such a mess, but has potential nevertheless.
But not necessary in the way it is advertised. (Like potential as securities, potential for some convenient/pragmatic things, potential for resolving certain trust/management issues, potential to undermine government regulations for both good and bad from both good and bad governments. Naturally not in the same currency. But if you are into crypto currencies for anarchistic or socialistic world view, to create a more fair world, you are probably in the wrong place).

#28It's terrifying that the punishments are so draconian (because one false move and you lose access to the entire Google account, and possibly become persona non-grata and lose the ability to create another one even in a company context), it's hard to understand what the rules are, the appeals process generally won't help, and even being a paying customer won't save you.
It seems like best practice for any professional who needs to use Google anything would be to avoid Google to the greatest extent possible except in professional contexts, lest some inadvertent mistake (or something malicious like a hack) cripple your career.

A month's YouTube Music sub would be well within the jurisdiction of small claims, that'd cost them at least some lawyer time to respond!

What do you mean but whining?
I'm not DeFi fan (not by a long shot), but complaining about the practices of centralised services seems exactly in line with what a pro-DeFi person would do. There's no hypocrisy here.
