I Finally got my YouTube back

[Spokavriel]

I Finally got back my YouTube channel. I haven't been able to do anything with it in 4 years. It might take a little while for me to clean it up before doing anything new with it.

BTW Back before I lost access the page still looked kinda like this.

And why weren't you able to do anything with it. YouTube banning you from it or something (for some insane reason only they understand)?

Back then if you didn't have a G-Mail account you lost access to YouTube, Trying to sign up, so I could get it back, without one finally worked.

Ugh... Google!

Nearly everyone I know that did get a gmail account had to start over with a new youtube account.

I Still don't like their user rights agreement but at least it no longer demands you have their mail service to use their services.

Every time I tried until the other day it kept refusing to complete without a telephone number. Asking for a cellular one. And for 3 years I didn't even seriously try because I didn't like the terms of service phrasing.
