Try contacting Google about anything.
- sbarre 10y agoNo one was making that comparison.. Being "less shitty that someone else" is not a good thing from any viewpoint..
- Steko 10y agoIf it's industry standard response then it's a valid argument against the claim that this particular company's policy is somehow out of line with normal practices.
- pbarnes_1 10y agoWhataboutism is annoying as hell.
- appleflaxen 10y agoThe existence of a second, (even bigger, perhaps) problem has no bearing on the legitimacy of the first problem.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoWhy do some people always make this kind of "argument "?! Why can't you keep it focused on Apple when it's Apples actions in question? Saying something about some other company does not in any way justify the questionable actions.
- RIMR 10y agoBecause, we must always speak of Apple and Google in binaries, as everything is always one or the other. Chocolate and Vanila, Male and Female, Apple and Google. All these things are binary, and are always inversely related to one another. /s
- xkcd-sucks 10y agoDimensions and directions are useful for describing stuff, though
- joemi 10y agoYou're of course correct that it doesn't justify the questionable actions. But it shows that it's a much bigger problem than one company... Is there some reason such issues happen all of these multiple companies? Can we do anything about that so that other companies don't also start doing this?
- neves 10y agoI think he has a good point. A lot of our business and life are under the rule of big private companies. We are merciless to question their behavior even when their acts have great impact upon us. Sure, we should add add a lot of names to this list: "Try contacting [Apple|Google|EBay|PayPal|AmazonAws|.*] about anything."
- choicewords 10y agoI'd like to say that it is possible to reach paypyal. They've even been moderately effective.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoAnd, ironically, the same people _enabling_ these companies by building all their tech are right here on HN!
- rjbwork 10y agoIf you're actually paying Google money, they have pretty decent support. I've gotten support for their ad platforms, their apps for work, Google Fi, and my Nexus phones/tablets. I see no reason for them to, nor do I expect them to, provide me support for things like GMail, or Hangouts, or their search.
- amelius 10y ago> If you're actually paying Google money, they have pretty decent support. I wish I could pay for my browser, my email and my search...
- aianus 10y agoYou can pay for the email, I do.
- beamatronic 10y agoYou can pay for one of the basic storage plans, that will get your foot in the door, so to speak.
- Guest98123 10y agoWhen I use AdSense e-mail support, I get personal replies in less than 24 hours.
