Getting banned from YouTube might be the best thing google has ever done for me

At least in the past, you couldn't get banned from YouTube: They would instead lock your entire Google account and I personally would not be able to deal with that.

And is probably illegal if you'd ever take the shit to court...

They're a private company, they can ban as they please. This has been proven time and time and time and time again in US courts.

Yeah but usa isn't the center of the world and other countries see that differently...

Twitch for example frequently gets slapped by Germanys courts for idiotic Bans...

That's a fair point, I don't think Google meets that definition, but time could prove me wrong.
