Google for me died when they banned my many years old gmail account out of blue. Because i used vpn to access it.

It was such a big hit to my online life to lose my email like that.

Their appeal system is fully automated, impossible to get a human to look at your case.

This is warning to any reader of this comment, do not depend on your google account to be forever.

This exact issue is why I have been paying for my e-mails for the last 5 years.
