- favaq 4y agoMost tech giants can't support their users and they are doing fine.
- ciupicri 4y agoWhat business model, the one where people and businesses don't have to pay (with cash) in order to communicate with friends or customers or advertise (present) themselves? You can't expect premium support when you haven't paid anything.

- fleddr 4y agoThe person writing the article IS an advertiser, so now what?
- dspillett 4y agoHm. Perhaps their priority is people who are _just_ advertisers, maybe those who use their products for anything else are such a risk that they get rid at the slightest whim even if they are both sorts of user.
