    google is a mindless automaton with no feelings for others. Your not get much help from them on this.

    They pretty much delete accounts if inactive for 4 years or so. Maybe you can contact them, but they have one of the worst customer service standards.

    Best you can do it try and find all the old videos you had on the old account and try and make a new one, or add them to your current account.

    Google is on the fast track of becoming a monopoly and a very dangerous one. worse then any other monopoly that could be formed, because the monopoly that Google has would be the monopoly on information and information is the utmost power

    becoming?
    They already are a monopoly, and the internet community abides by it like mindless herd animals do.

    The "or something" in your post tells me one thing: You didn't know what you were doing and instead of taking a couple extra minutes to make completely sure you were doing it right you did something dumb and instead of blaming the responsible party (YOU) you are whining about it being Google's fault instead. Maybe next time you should google it first and be 100% sure you are doing it right.

    Sad fact is, they killed all competition too, since until someone comes along and makes a new free to use system of video sharing and music, it all most people have.

    I knew this would turn into Google being blamed that it is big bad company.

    You don't sound like you even knew what you were doing, and we're supposed to just accept that its their fault?
    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

    How much did you pay for your google account?

    wtf are you talking about? Just log into the account on youtube. You'd have to physically delete an account for it to be gone. It doesn't just happen randomly.

    You don't abide by it. You use it. To watch videos and shit. For free. Gamers love to throw out sensational words like "Mindless" and "herd"
