A few years ago my YouTube account was suspended (without warning, IIRC, and for a templated reason), and the message they sent me told me not to start another account to evade the ban (and I haven't). FWIW I soon after joined niconico and Vimeo, and took an interest in Wikicommons videos and Internet Archives.
