I get that part, but why would sleeping overnight and trying again in 8 hours be a solution?

Yup. The amount of times I've heard "The telephone companies wouldn't let anyone just pretend to be 911, would they?" is stunning. By the time people are speaking to the scammer, they've already been fooled once.

Hi did you know YouTube Kids exists? Even if you don't have kids (I don't, and I'm sure Google's almighty tracking is well aware), but oh man here's another reminder! And while you're at it, I bet you really mi

Some black box algorithm deciding you're spamming getting your GMail, Google Drive, Photos, etc. banned for an unknowable period of time, combined with Google's amazing customer service, is a different story than some forum modera

It's too trite and has too many exceptions on both the free side (Linux, Wikipedia, heck, Hacker News) and the non-free (plenty of popular sites and apps that track you out the wazoo even when you do pay).
