    Moral of the story: create separate account for YouTube that has no high value services or data on it.

      I’d argue the bigger moral is that you should always own your online identity. You should buy your own domain (@yourname.xyz or something like that) and make your email on that. So if Google bans you, you just switch email providers and keep your address.

        I’ve been using @fixnum.org and since a few years the alias @wim.land to do exactly this, but that’s just email.

        My app purchases, photo storage, and YouTube account are all entangled in this. I could decouple from Google, but it would be very painful.
