Comment I am locked out of Youtube (Score 1) 185
I had a Youtube account since well before it became integrated into Google accounts. So the email on the account is not a Gmail account. And Google locked me out one day. The recovery phone # is one from so long ago that it was likely from before you could port your number to new carriers, or was a landline. The thing is that I *still get email alerts when people comment on my videos. But Google will not use that same email to recover my account. The videos have my voice on them, have my backyard in them. But as this post states, there is absolutely no recourse for me to get that account back. So I am of course moving away from Google. It's such a sad, soulless, void there because you are the product, and no one cares what a widget thinks.
