The absolute worst part is their random bans for ludicrous reasons. Resold pixel? Ban! Art nudity? Ban! Hollywood photos in app screenshots? Ban! YouTube report

The absolute worst part is their random bans for ludicrous reasons. Resold pixel? Ban! Art nudity? Ban! Hollywood photos in app screenshots? Ban! YouTube reports? Ban! And the ban hammer deletes everything from Gmail to Google docs to Google drive. There is no other company that I despise as much as Google. Not even Facebook. FB had a customer support call me when my account was blocked due to invalid credit card in ads. Amazon has excellent customer support for buyers and sellers. Google just deletes everything and doesn't even bother providing any support for it. The day Google dies, I will be opening up a champagne and celebrating.

lol'd at FB customer support. sometime in late 2017 someone with a Pakistan IP has somehow made 2 pages about flowers on my FB account, created an ad account and ran 2 ad campaigns on them. weirdly enough they paid for the first campaign, but removed their card details afterwards. FB nags me on my wall to update my credit card info for a failed payment of ~20$, a year after I wrote two emails to them explaining the situation.

  You can just close your fb account and move on with your life. Good luck doing that with google and its drive/docs/gmail/search/apps/phone/maps/contact manager/chrome

see, an article about their anti human support policies might've persuaded me. this article is just Microsoft accusing them of doing a less aggressive form of what Microsoft got in trouble for doing w/ IE 20 years ago.

  Yes. But the Microsoft of today is a much different company than twenty years ago. They have completely different leadership. Is it fair to judge them still for then?
