It still shows it's a good idea to separate your e-mail from your YouTube or whatever account though. When I still used Gmail I was always worried something like this would get me locked out of everything. I use YouTube much more now that my e-mail is safely stored elsewhere.

My YouTube account used to be independent from my Google account, just using my gmail address as the e-mail address. Then Google bought YouTube. Then Google merged my YouTube account with my Google account against my will.
