theo sparked discussion that people don't realize how risky it is to use Gemini subscriptions outside Google's official surfaces — you can get your ENTIRE Google account banned. An OpenAI or Anthropic ban is annoying but survivable; a Google ban can be life-ruining. Developer Glen Bradley adds that he deliberately avoids Google's AI tools (Antigravity, Gemini) precisely because Google is ban-happy and too much of his life's infrastructure depends on his Google account.
