The complaint says there should be a warning that processing fees can be high. Go to the front page and check out the links. Nothing really about cost. Someone follows that path and 14k gone without a word about it. That's the path that people are sent down from the website. It explicitly talks about using BQ for analysis.
A simple "running queries over the whole dataset can cause significant costs due to the size of the dataset" should be enough. And I think that's a valid and fair point.
The whole part of accusing Google should just be ignored.

- treffer 3y agoI can't even find "cost" on that page. Only one rather tiny side note that you could get past the free tier quota. I don't think that's a proper warning on costs.

- IshKebab 3y ago> The whole part of accusing Google should just be ignored. I don't know. Google could trivially solve this problem by imposing an opt-out warning on potentially expensive queries. "It looks like your query might cost $14k. Are you sure?" But money.
- anon84873628 3y agoIt probably wasn't a single query costing $14k, but more like 1k costing $14.
