sadly, he seems bitter, which goes against his "This is ridiculous, I'm leaving" attitude

  Why can’t one be bitter about being impacted by something ridiculous?
- cnlp10 6y ago
  This new "bitter" meme that started some time last year is the latest way that people use to discredit dissenters even more. There is anger, righteous anger, biblical fury, disappointment, inner emigration, reacting strongly while actually being amused, reacting strongly while not caring and about 50 more shades of underlying feelings. "bitter" is appropriate for the feeling when a spouse cheats after 20 years of marriage and it actually affects you. "bitter" as currently used on the internet is just propaganda that tries to inflict maximum damage on dissenters. It often comes from corporate-adjacent developers.

    > "bitter" as currently used on the internet is just propaganda that tries to inflict maximum damage on dissenters.

I agree though, i would be bitter as well and certainly stand behind him over the globocorpos in practically all of these related situations.

  Suddenly losing access to your main mail account alone is a pretty big deal already and can have significant impact on someones life. Now add to that the loss of access to services like google drive, purchased apps etc.. The Terraria youtube channel was locked too through this if I understand correctly. That his immense frustration stretches beyond the plan to release his game on Stadia is relatable in my opinion.

We all knew famous people throwing a fit on twitter would eventually stop working. Now there is really no support from Google for their products.

I don't believe no one has noticed at Google yet. There has to be something else at this point.

  Ding ding ding. I wish Google would go public with it for PR's sake, but there's a there there.

    This is a job for an investigative journalist... if there is some hidden motive, Google have had enough time to bury it under a pile of NDAs.
    - CydeWeys 6y ago
      I'm not saying some nefarious hidden motive, just some every day kind of ban-worthy confirmed ToS violation on the YouTube account. That's my guess.
      - mkl95 6y ago
        My guess is that this ban is not an isolated incident. Google are notoriously bad at admitting that something is not behaving as intended.
        CydeWeys 6y ago
        That may be true of other lower-profile situations, but this particular ban is behaving as intended. They're just not saying anything publicly about why the ban was enacted.

        > "every day kind of ban-worthy confirmed ToS violation on the YouTube account" But that's the nefarious and the hidden bit, and the biggest complaint is that there is no "motive", because people aren't involved at any stage. Every day bots and algorithms tend to YouTube's ToS violations and don't give enough feedback that explains to a human why they did what they don't, don't seem to be reviewed by a human anywhere in the process, and there seems to exist no real human oversight for appeals or post-mortem reviews. It's all very opaque to people, so yes it is hidden and seems nefarious. It especially seems nefarious that there is no real "motive" just machines eating each other endlessly with seemingly no human oversight. (And then that the YouTube account takedown also takes down most of the communications tools such as GMail along with it only furthers the nefarious and "post-mortem" feelings of such an "every day kind of ban".)
