I agree. This comes up frequently enough that it seems like there could be a legitimate class action of some kind.

Even in the FB post, there's a lot of "me too"'s.
At the very least offer to sit everyone down at a table and talk it out (I'm still partial to the unarmed combat solution, but that's me).

I'd assume that Google/Youtube's TOS include a clause such that any issue you might ever have, can only be resolved by arbitration. Lots of companies are busy making sure that merely using their service means you can't press a class action lawsuit.

Have those ToS-es been tested in court? (Or more relevantly, ask a lawyer who is familiar with the subject. It may be that not everything falls under their forced mandatory arbitration.)
