"Tech Giants Implementing New Policies on Inactive Accounts"

TL;DR Summary
Google's new inactive account policy, which will delete accounts that have gone unused for two years, will not delete accounts with YouTube videos, according to a statement from YouTube's creator liaison. However, Google's current documentation, including a blog post, suggests otherwise. Deleting old YouTube content would not only damage the platform but also hurt Google's bottom line, as those videos make money through ads. The inactive account policy won't take effect until December 2023, giving Google time to figure out a formal policy regarding YouTube videos.
