then charge for it? Even support that only deals with account terminations would be worth $5, $10 a month to quite a few of us, I would think. You have a busy YouTube channel, ten bucks a month is not that much to ensure it doesn't go up flames accidentally.
Their hyper-obsession of algorithmic trivia in hiring, I think, leads to a natural conclusion that there's an algorithm for every problem. And, indeed, every product they launch is extremely heavy on technical complexity with little reliance or consideration for customer value.
This is purely opinion with no real data, but it's what I've observed for about a decade now.
It should not cost money for a user to correct the mistake of a service provider. If the telephone company shutdown my number, i have the telecommunications onbudsman to call and get the problem fixed. Granted, youtube isn't as essential as a phone, a similar body should exist to ensure that online service providers are treating customers fairly.
The first rule of making money is to not spend money.
You aren't paying for the service though, the people who buy ads are.
Nice YouTube account you have there, it would be a shame if we accidentally destroyed it...
I'm more in favour of a) splitting out parts of Google until it becomes managable b) new regulations that protect persons and companies in extremely one sided relationships (man vs Google). We are already starting to get there with GDPR and I'm seriously hoping that we'll see it enforced more in near future.
My idea here is that we need to formalize this relationship and regulate it.
YouTubers aren't Google employees but they are still extremely valuable to Google only in a very one sided relationship.
