Google has banned whole accounts of some users for copy pasting comments on Youtube chat (similar to what people do on Twitch).

I wouldn't gamble on it.

PSA: skirting their attempts to block ad blockers if you have a Google account you would rather keep may be unwise.

Google has been known for banning people for stupid crap, and this checks all the boxes.

While they were silent on this topic there was a gentlemen's agreement that you could block ads. But now that they have voiced their opinion the jig is up.

I'd recommend people to use an alternative account if they are going to block anyway and they want to keep their gmail.

Well of course you can do it quickly with vim. Regardless, my suspicion is that OP deleted the lines manually, hence the need to mention it a couple of times. Otherwise, why would they even mention something you can do with grep in a literal second.

you mentioned it twice so I fear the worst, please tell me you didn’t remove 14000 lines manually using a text editor.
