- cldellow 3y agoYes, why wouldn't I think that? As I said, I trust Mike Masnick. I also have past professional experience that leads me to believe Google does what's easiest for Google, not what's best for their customers. In one case, Google suspended a Google Certified Publishing Partner's GAM account for several hours with no notice. The partner had several years of history with Google, did $100M/year of revenue with them, and had an assigned Google rep who did weekly calls with them. Google reactivated the account, but only after significant disruption to the partner. I agree that it's good to be a critical consumer of news, but eh, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably Google being blissfully ignorant of the impact they have on their users.
