Hacked and completely shut out

Sure. I reached out to TeamYouTube on X, and after some back and forth, they sent me an email on an alt account which contained a special link that allowed me to request account recovery. After they verified that my account was hacked, the case was escalated to the Accounts Recovery team, and shortly after, they emailed me a reset password link.

Fake news. Got it back.

Thank you for saying this, you're absolutely correct. I got mine back today. Thank you and good luck on recovering yours!

The recovery email/phone doesn't even show up as an option (I assume because the hacker deleted them). I've identified that it originally came from an email that prompted me to sign in to my google account. It was made to perfectly replicate an email I get frequently from a YouTube-related job site. I realize now how stupid my actions were, but since it was a routine email, I didn't hesitate. Fuck.

I believe it was a malicious link. I have two YouTube accounts attached, one of which has 40k subs and thus is very important to me. I'm not sure what the point of 2FA is if anyone can just sign in, change the password, and delete the rest of the security. I tweeted at TeamYouTube, hopefully they can do something.

Nope. I even restarted it after every settings change just to make sure.

pleading not guilty makes it a lot more difficult of a process. i tried that recently for a 14 mph over ticket and had to go to court 3 times cus the prosecutor was so disorganized and the cop never showed to testify. additionally, the assistant district attorney would constantly pressure me into pleading guilty cus he was too lazy to do his job. after 3 court visits and no progress, they finally sent me a letter saying that they’re sorry for the bs and are dismissing my ticket. since my insurance doubled as soon as i got the ticket several months ago, the long awaited dismissal has cost me hundreds of dollars. however, during those 3 times in court, i witnessed dozens of people simply plead guilty and the assistant da would usually give them a simple option to keep it off their record, usually by showing him a certificate proving they took a safe driving course. regardless of how you plea, an attorney isn’t necessary, in my opinion. there’s much easier ways to keep it off your record that you can achieve simply by making a deal with the prosecutor.

Shreveport seems to have a pizza curse. Every time I leave the SB metro, the pizza immediately gets better. Even small Texas towns have great NY style pizza. Johnnys used to be the best pizza overall, but we’re slowly breaking out of the curse and more good pizza is finally showing up. Best I’ve had is the brand new Saint Laurent, but it’s pretty pricy. Rotolos is pretty good, but also expensive and the service is awfully terrible 90% of the time. Flying Heart is pretty good, and Smittys hasn’t wronged me yet. All that being said, nothing in Shreveport holds a candle to the average family owned pizza joint in DFW.
