  1. I read the new terms not as "chargeback from your account" but "chargeback from your future earnings". You did mention this interpretation, too, but the money that's already on your bank account is yours to keep. These terms make any future income from YouTube even more random. And I have to agree with the problematic AI policies/decisions. I've been fighting with Google custom support after they randomly disabled account of a minor for no reason. I think I've been communicating with a real person instead of AI via email about the issue but either the customer support has their hands tied behind their back, or their abilities are close to AI because they haven't been able to fix the problem in two weeks after sending emails back and forth the whole time. And obviously you cannot call Google if you have issues with their system – you should feel lucky if you can email a person!
