This mirrors my experience with google support, even as a paying gsuite customer. I lost a YouTube channel and wasn’t given any option to restore it. Their advice was to just re upload all the content and forget about view counts and old links that would no longer work.

I'm going through issues with G Suite as an admin. They randomly blocked my account falsely accusing me of sending spam. I can't even access the help support team sicne I can't login to the system.

  This is completely insane - there's absolutely no legitimate reason for Google to lock you out of your account, even if you were sending spam emails. Disable your ability to send new emails, maybe. Lock you out of your email inbox, maybe. But completely prevent you from accessing your account, and therefore even appealing? Inexcusable.

    Come on bear with them. They're not a very big or technically sophisticated company, so they only have one big on/off button per account.

  G Suite is a shit show. Had major problems with a trial. Firstly it would just redirect back to the admin console if I hit gmail. Support couldn’t fix it. Also you can’t give anyone access to YouTube (!) for 60 days after signing up or paying $30 in credit. Which is no good because when you pay them £30 fuck all happens. And again support were useless. Happy O365 customer now. And I’ve used support which was excellent.

    What's O365. Honestly I've tried everything and can't find any support pages. In order to get support you need to login to admin console on G Suite, well how the heck am I supposed to do that if I can't login to begin with? This is the generic https://imgur.com/a/lgRby50 https://imgur.com/a/lgRby50 page I get. It's been almost a week and a half, more than 5 business days, and I haven't heard back from my request to restore my account. The problem is that they have my data and my credit card for this G Suite account.

      I don't know if it would work these days, but I'd go down to their offices with a sign saying "I need help with my account" and march in front of their office. Be calm and civil and maybe you'll get some where. Or maybe there's a phone number on your credit card bill / that you can get from your credit card charges.

Same, and don't get me started on Ad-sense, kicked out by Google who claimed I was clicking on my own ads?!? They owe me tons on money, they know it because they sent me a stupid voucher at my home address to spend it on double-click, LOL... it was 14 years ago. Since then every-time I have the opportunity I strongly oppose any business I work with to move to any Google cloud service and I was pretty convincing so far in large corporations, and I will continue to do so.
