Oh Google... if you don't use your analytics account, they just delete the data. if you don't log in into your account for X period of time they will remove it. if you god forbid forgot to check your mail account for an alert about this, well, then, so sorry, your data was deleted. I'm fantasizing when this will reach Youtube users who will notice that their videos disappeared?

Is there a word for companies that heavily rely on their customers that also actively hate their customers?

  Attention brokers, a.k.a. Internet advertising companies. If the product is free, you are the product.

Google specifically calls out accounts with YouTube videos as exempt from their new two year inactivity policy. I mean I get what you’re saying, but as they say, “content is king”.

  Does that mean you can upload any old junk to prevent the account being deleted?

    No, uploads won't save you at all. See upthread.

    Probably, but we know how much Google loves to kill its creations. So, sprinkle liberally with salt. :)

  No, this is false. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/12418290?hl=en#zippy=%2Cexceptions-to-this-policy https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/12418290?hl=en#zi... Now, it is true that this alleged "YouTube exception" was listed in emails sent to us. But those emails aren't worth the pixels they're printed on; the only policy that matters is the one published above, and you can plainly see that there are no exceptions for YouTube creators. I spent over 20 minutes in a chat with One Support to get clarity on this, and after a lot of ignoring my plainly worded questions and a lot of Support copy pasta, I determined that the email was a malicious lie or an innocent mistake. Don't trust what they told you, trust only what they've published.
