      I assumed such from the title. It could be worded better, but it’s pretty obvious what was happening.

    Is there any way I can see a list of all accounts associated with my main account? I remember seeing an email from corporate saying they would warn us before deleting but I haven’t seen any warning and I know I have some inactive.

    All this fuzz with adds, pushing people into premium services and increasing prices of services makes me think, could data hoarding have stopped being as profitable as it once was?

      I would think it’s a matter of stale data. If they delete it all, people may create new accounts, and re-upload what’s actually important (or download what’s important), giving Google more data points.

      Win/win for Google.
