    It’s generally a bad idea to create fake Google accounts, if you have a primary account you don’t want banned.

      I have had probably a hundred accounts through google, all of them almost 100℅ connected to me and have not had an issue in 20 years I used google.

      Is this in their TOS somewhere? I am 99.99% this isn’t enforced and there are many professional and private reasons to have multiple accounts.

      Edit: I guess if you actively try to cheat the system by exploiting multiple accounts. But i thought the post was a possibly fake funny and not a suggestion/endorsment.

          Unrelated small businesses, sure.

          But the one that just fired you?

          I think that’s a justified amount of work. Alao you were just fired, you’ve got a surplus work-budget anyway
