Google terminating YouTube channels and videos (2016)

I assume this hosed your main Google account, right? Not just your access to YouTube?

That's the part that really rubs me the wrong way. That, for example, your nest thermostat (or email, or phone, etc) might not work right because you uploaded the wrong video one day.

Nope, it was just the Youtube account. When they did the Google+ transition, I generated a new Google account for my Youtube account, but linked it to my normal Google account.

I actually found out about the account removal because of message in Gmail that I had missed for 2-3 days.

Did he upload the wrong video ? The possibility is even worse than that, it's because of a server side bug.

jimminy stated they'd never uploaded any videos, which makes it even more puzzling.

He also stated later, that he had older videos uploaded long time ago.

That was a different individual. I've never uploaded a video at any point.
