Petition to Google to Reactivate my YouTube Account

I have been writing blogs and creating videos in the field of software testing for about 8 years. During this period I have helped thousands to software testing enthusiasts in learning test automation. I woke up to a shock yesterday that my you tube channel has been terminated. This is what you will see on my youtube channel -

In my best of knowledge -

I never spammed any one
Never used abusive language against any one.
Never had any strike against my account.

The worse thing is that I have no backup of my video tutorial so all of my subscribes are going to be deprived of my video tutorials in future.

According to google, account owner is sent an email when account is terminated but I never received any mail. I regularly receive you tube promotional mail so it is highly unlikely that I would have missed this email. I have already appealed google about it and yet waiting to hear from them.

How can you help?

If you think that my channel has been of any help to you then -

Please add your comments to following post. Probably this helps google understand the importance of my channel and reactivate it.

If you are on Twitter then please tweet to - https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube requesting them to reactivate my channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/tarun3kumar

Thanks for your support

How to Verify Email Confirmation Using Selenium 4 and JavaMail (2026 Guide) Updated: 2026 (Original article published August 02, 2011) Email confirmation is an integral part of most registration flows — account activation, password reset, multi-factor authentication, and onboarding emails. Sooner or later, every automation engineer faces the same challenge: How do we verify an email confirmation link inside a Selenium test without making the test slow and flaky? Many beginners try to automate Gmail UI using Selenium. That approach is fragile, slow, and tightly coupled to a third-party UI that changes frequently. A cleaner approach is this: Use Selenium for browser automation. Use JavaMail (IMAP) to read the email directly. Extract the confirmation link. Continue the test using Selenium. This guide shows a modern, production-ready approach using Selenium 4 and JavaMail . Why Not Auto...
