There is no consequence to my business. Are you drunk or high right now? Because you're coming across as weirdly paranoid and reading way too much into the situation.

My beard is gray. I tend to apply Occam’s razor. The problem with code is almost never a bug in the compiler. The simplest explanation for your experience is not Google being incompetent. I have read AskHN’s written a bit later under similar facts. The consultant is trying to get their own account reinstated because they made a new account on behalf of a client experiencing “arbitrary” mistreatment. Outside of that, the market for consulting clients is a market for lemons. Good clients already have consultants. Those consultants hang onto good clients like grim death. I could be misreading what you wrote. You might not have written down something that would change my take. Maybe this is not a situation where you pay the dumb tax. But everyone pays it sometimes.

  So yes, you're high? You are making so many weird assumptions and jumping to strange conclusions here. Or you're a Google shill, I honestly can't tell which.

    I am not using much of my imagination to guess how your interactions with Google customer support went. These days companies have access to a customer rating services. And you experienced 404, number not in service, and connection to the Philippines where there are call centers for hire dedicated to “the most demanding” customers. Hopefully you are billing time and materials.
