Google wants usage that earns them street cred, not usage from bots who will never evaluate the output. They're all fighting tooth and nail to acquire customers, both free and paid... they didn't want their giveaways to be burned.

But banning accounts wholesale is not going to earn them more customers. They could have just disabled Gemini access, or even given a warning first.

I don't use OpenClaw, I do pay hundreds per month for AI subscriptions, and I will not be giving that money to Google while they treat their customers like this.

So they ban a group of early adopters who picked their product and who shape opinions.
