I'm using the same gmail (as recovery email) that i'm using in youtube and instagram. I was talking to someone using conversations about removing ads from smart tv, and when i logged to youtube after, found a vid about it. This was the second time, the first time was instagram, similair thing.

Update: I replaced my recovery email with proton and Big AND, deleted knox matrxi. No more suggestions. I think it was knox matrix.

Iirc, I think it was the Terraria dev that got all Google services blocked from him for a ban in one service and that Google never explained what was the reason? Might've been some other bigger indie dev, but it served to show how, if Google wants, you lose everything for any minor misdemeanor, or if they think you committed any, and good luck with the right to defend yourself from accusations.
