If you search multiple times for the same term you will see a slight variation in search results, that's how they give apps a chance to move up or down. IE they move you down one slot but you still outperform the app above in CTR, you probably should remain in your current spot, or move up. Another app gets moved in front of their current ranking and the app that got moved down outperforms it in CTR, keep things as they are.
For me personally it seems pragprog.com usually has consistent quality, apress I’ve read good books but they seem a lot more hit or miss. I think Oreilly is also considered to be pretty good?
They say to submit an appeal at https://play.google.com/console/appealsForm?ts=BMS but if your account is banned you are also unable to access the appeal form.
I really wish there was a time limit on these things instead of a ban for life situation.

4.3 Spam Don’t create multiple Bundle IDs of the same app. If your app has different versions for specific locations, sports teams, universities, etc., consider submitting a single app and provide the variations using in-app purchase. Also avoid piling on to a category that is already saturated; the App Store has enough fart, burp, flashlight, fortune telling, dating, drinking games, and Kama Sutra apps, etc. already. We will reject these apps unless they provide a unique, high-quality experience. Spamming the store may lead to your removal from the Apple Developer Program.
On an unrelated note if you have any FCA vehicle thieves have a programmer that plugs into OBD2 that will delete yours keys from the car and pair theirs in under 2 minutes so they can crank the car and drive off. It’s not even the relay amplifier attack that affects a lot of other cars.
