just saw a report about how google is allegedly telling businesses to ramp up their spending only to withhold the promised ad credits later. it sounds like they are basically using
incentives as bait to get people to burn through their budgets. many advertisers are already reporting that they spent thousands of dollars and ended up with
nothing in return. has anyone else here dealt with this kind of
bad faith behavior from the platform? it feels like a total
scam trap for small businesses trying to scale. i wonder if there is any way to actually hold them accountable when they refuse to honor these deals.
