This happens all the time in Google Play, how do you protect against random take downs? You have several copies of your dev account or channel. That's it, you become a spammer to defend against the bot that "protects" us from spammers.

Add one of the playlists to the description (that playlist may not contain that movie) The movies one by one vanish from the playlists and are uploaded again on new channels. The playlist channels seem to last for a really long time.

- grishka 2y agoThat's a bad advice. Firstly, Google is known to ban developer accounts "by association". They will easily ban all of your copies all at once. Secondly, apps are identified by globally unique package IDs. If one account has claimed an ID, no other account can use it ever again. So even if you do republish your app, you have no way to make your existing users update to that version. It will be considered a different app both by Google Play and Android itself.
- brudgers 2y agoProbably even worse for the advice is that client accounts can be associated with a banned developer's account...I remember reading a dumpster-fire of an ASK HN (a tire fire for the people actually effected).
