Welp that's the product you signed up for.

Much like PayPal stealing from millions of Americans for a full decade+

Can't backup money either. That doesn't stop these policies of zero human support and only infinity robot responses from remaining until today.

Writing a law and getting it passed to curtail this behavior absolute nonsense.

Complaining about the next 1000000 people to lose access without doing 1 single thing about it. Sign me right up!

Oh I agree. Gmail is basically a daily lottery for account lockout.

Still important to raise awareness, these posts certainly help and make it harder for google apologists to deny it (a few years ago there was a lot more victim blaming in the comments of these threads).

I felt the need to point it out because backups were brought several times here as a defense against OPs scenario which they aren't.
