Not in my experience. Not even remotely true. Nobody above the level of the team of ICs writing the account abuse rules knows how it works or why. Not their manager, certainly not their director, undoubtedly not their VP or SVP. The team would have OKRs around high-level account abuse outcomes such as known stolen accounts, lockout false/true positive rates, etc.
- Adverblessly 3y agoWhat you are describing definitely matches my experience, but IMO a rule like "blocks ads on YT -> disabled" is a rule that could never come from the ICs on the ground since it isn't the sort of abuse they are looking for. That is, unless there's an order from above to treat blocking ads as abuse that warrants blocking.
