11 million is a joke really. I only lost about $250, but it pretty much killed off an otherwise promising potential startup.

- jacquesm 8y agoAlternative reading: they did you a favor by showing you early on that they could kill your startup at a moments notice. That's a lot better than to have 25 people on the payroll and see your advertising contract go up in smoke (which happened to me).
- smartician 8y agoI agree. It also taught me a valuable (and fairly cheap) lesson on not relying on a single source of revenue.
- paulpauper 8y agoyeah if someone slips on your property and gets hurt, you're looking at millions potentially But a $600+ billion dollar company that steals millions of dollars from thousands of publishers? $11 million . It's as if they measured it down to the penny exactly which is rare because often you see these huge settlement numbers like for tobacco companies, where it seems excessive. But the case where there are the most victims and the most hurt victims and victims that are the most innocent gets the most pathetic, most measured payout. It's the exact opposite of the frivolous lawsuit.
