Considering how fucked up big tech is right now, I'm purging my Youtube account of all comments and content I've made in the past.
Some may consider me a coward for sanitizing the hell out of it, but I actually need that google account for other stuff too. Can't afford being locked out of it.

Didn't have anything worth archiving content wise.

If only it were that easy.

Apparently it has happened to some users though. Sure, it might also be something unrelated, but I'd rather not risk anything.

I've thought about it, and I do have another account I could use, but:
1) constantly switching between main account and youtube account would be a pain in the ass
2) it would definitely still lead to situations where I try to do things from the wrong account, wasting time.
3) even if I moved my comment habits to a different account, I can't exactly move my comment history too, so I'd still need to do a purge.
That was faster than I expected.
If anyone is interested in mass-purging their youtube comments, the easiest way is by hiding your account from settings->advanced settings.
After the comments are purged, you need to re-create your channel. You can find the option in the drop-down menu when you click your avatar.
