The main failure mode for a YouTube channel is being locked out of your Google account. And Google have been known to lockout associated accounts as well.
Storing your YouTube backups with a Google account definitely does not count as an off site backup.
- dawnerd 8y agoGoogle isn't going to shut down a gsuite account you are part of because your youtube account was closed. If you're that worried, pay the 100 bucks or so for an LLC, setup gsuite under that name and well that's about it. Never said it counted as an off site backup either, just that it's a good solution to dump video too.

- tinus_hn 8y agoIf a conflict arises Google will just close the entire account and you lose access to everything connected to it. People have lost their gmail address, play store account etc.
- dawnerd 8y agoSo you’re trying to say if an employee of a company has their personal account deleted google will take down the company gsuite? Please.
- lordlimecat 8y agoThis has literally happened and been on HN multiple times. Google is well known to be aggressive in closing related accounts.
- villgax 8y agoThey have done so for not so famous companies & developers/past-clients linked with closed accounts. So unless you have the weight to create buzz, it is a blackhole for most people if they are in crosshairs ever. There was this group of folks who bought stolen pixels(unknowingly) & all of their gmail accounts got suspended & only after much hoopla did they manage to get it back.
