Google to offer app devs the same revenue sharing terms as Apple – immediately
- ganeshkrishnan 10y agoMaybe they ought to be more consumer focussed and developer friendly. Their outrageous LIFETIME ban hammer on devs which cannot be argued with any human inside googleplex and their bots making the decisions to shutter all your gmail+drive+docs for violations of play store or youtube and also banning any "related accounts" is absolutely abhorring. My first startup was shuttered down by google because one of our devs used "multiple sign in" to login with his personal account and then to our business account. His personal account was banned for using "copyrighted images" and google bot tied his account to our company and overnight everything in our account was gone : docs, gmail, drive, adsense (they kept adwords alive because it was being charged monthly). I tried contacting everyone and anyone remotely possible and none could do anything. Plenty of stories like this was brought up to their head of public policy at reddit AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/35b6bt/we_are_senior_members_of_googles_public_policy/cr2smcq?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/35b6bt/we_are_senior_... Their VP promised to look into it but he never did. Even their engineering department said that customer service was a "black box" and there is nothing they could do. Fuck Google. They went from a developer respected company to plain shill bags.
