gamification, companies know people will do it for free so why pay?

  It would probably be worth paying/staffing whatever though since people may do something for free, but it may not be enough to make a happy end user. Not all companies miss this, Amazon has strict SLAs on responding to user requests, and this even includes GitHub issues. Personally, I find it rare, though not non-existent, to have a good experience with Google customer support or OSS while Amazon generally feels pretty good. Maybe just lucky of course but the brand effect is obvious to me and perhaps worth the companies spending a bit on.

    I also experience generally great support(compared to average) from Amazon. Google has been the worst support I have ever dealt with. Google support is also poorly trained on social engineering.
