Most users on this site would cut off their own thumbs before saying something about Google that isn't negative; it's just one of the hallmarks of the HN community.

To everyone complaining about the possibility of you google account getting false flagged as TOS violation: do you actively use this reason to avoid all other domain providers like GoDaddy who can terminate your account?

Just make a separate email account that exists solely to manage your domains, and this advice goes for using ANY domain registrar/provider.

My domain provider is only used as a domain provider, everything else - email, hosting etc is elsewhere.

I won’t wake up one morning and find that I’ve been caught in some kind of youtube purge that disables my account.

The point is against putting all your eggs in one basket (especially with said basket's track record).

Sure, GoDaddy could. But then I just lose my domains. If Google does it, I lose all my eggs.
