If your Google account is banned, it could cause widespread issues for you. No Gmail, no Docs, no YouTube — it's a scary thought.

Is there any email you can use that doesn't have this issue?

Really, the problem is with all the places you make accounts. Now that I think about it, all of them should allow you to add a second email address to use, just in case you lose access to the first.

Is there any email you can use that doesn't have this issue? The article gives an example where people have their entire Google account banned just because they commented on youtube videos. So, using an email from a single-service company should drastically reduce the chance of an account ban.
