I wonder how publishers would feel if they were charged for the cost of appeals.

  Is Google struggling that much to charge them, what $50 or $100 per appeal? Shouldn't that be built in the system? Not to mention accusation of bias..."they banned me to get the appeal fee."

    The fee is a deterrent so that sites don’t spam appeals for their blatantly outside-the-rules content.

      Most scam sites know better...they try to get another adsense account, if possible, when caught. I guess Google can have different tiers of support. Those adjudicating initial appeals need not be Stanford grads, for 95% someone making $20 an hour will do. When in doubt, notch it to the next level.

    As the other commenter said, once you're paying for the appeals, it's probably not abuse, and you can get better service because it's not coming out of the other party's bottom line. If it really costs Google $50-100 per appeal, it would be no surprise that they didn't have humans in the loop, the traffic to this page was probably worth pennies at best, and the company would have just decided it's not worth wasting everyone's time with.
