Update on the #GooglePlay verification changes, Play Support tells me that I have monetization enabled so I have no recourse other than making a new account. I went back to check my activity log and it seems back in 2021 when I received the announcement about marking down the Play Store tax to 15%, I opted into it which automatically turned on monetization on my account and resulted in the current situation. I guess it's my fault then 🤷♂️
