Someone who don't want to lose their emails... In https://lemmy.cafe/comment/15974964 it was mentioned that their entire google account got banned for 10 years over adblocking youtube. I stopped watching youtube immediately... I'm not about to watch ads, but I don't want to lose access to my 22 year old personal account... So many accounts are tied to that address, that I can't manage to move to a different service.
FML what happened to "do no evil"? Now it's "make money with the baby grinding machine for all costs"
Don’t log in on YouTube. Unless you’re uploading, there’s no point.
I would be scared as hell to rely on Google like that. You are one automated Ai decision away from losing access.
At least move your mail to a proper company. Jesus.
