Since last summer, I have two seperate Youtube PREMIUM accounts blocked for spam and deceptive practices, community violations for content makers. These accounts only view videos, doesn't even comment. Banned youtube account can't even access billing page to cancel, so Google's been robbing me every month until I change credit card no. Since then I've had two more new accounts banned. I don't know what's triggering these bans, but they happen every 3-4 months on a weekend so something is happening to just my hardware but not others in the house.
I'm still holding out for appeal process which can be done ever 2 weeks. But so far pattern seems to be automatic rejection. Also have Google One which should get you live person support, but they basically forwarded me to Youtube support who said they were not trained to resolve issue. lol. Only saving grace is I could take out all my data and intially even that wasn't possible on my main 10+ year old account for some reason. I guess my point is, even if chance of losing account is low, chance of recovering account is even lower.
For reference I've ranted about knowing people who lost Chinese social media access but actually got accounts retored by a person after submitting insincere self criticism. It's not ideal but still much more functional experience than what I'm going through with Google.
