Hello,
This morning i had the wonderful news that my google play account was terminated. Yesterday I updated a app I had for 3 years already with half a million downloads and it seems they said I was impersonating. I had also a couple other stupid bans some time ago for adding a bitcoin donation address in the description or a dracula audiobook that should have been in medium maturity instead of low maturity. Huge mistakes you know. I have appealed but have very low hope to get this back.
The issue is that i can see that my apps are already not in google play but i have seen how the installed apps out there still are getting ads server. I can connect to my admob account and although less than yesterday, still it is getting money.
Just now i have received this email from AdMob this time:

So does this mean that ANY app that was published in my Google Play terminated account, will stop receiving ads? I have really huge problems to undestand what they mean most of the times. You know i have two years of law in the university but sometimes i think i am talking with the Oracle of Delfos.
Will i see AdMob money or will they just take it for them?
Are there any other interesting markets aka slide-me or should i just leave Android developing.
Cheers and thanks for your time.
Good luck and don’t rely much on these guys because they will **** you when you least expect it.
