  • There was a time, before Google showed their hand, that I would go out of my way to leave Google reviews. Good, bad or somewhere in between I would document the customer experience.

    Since Google made it clear what trajectory they are on I have returned to the old ways. Amazing service gets a letter, great service gets a quiet word to the manager. Bad service gets a word to the manager at the end of the transaction, terrible service and I just never return again and tell anyone who asks why. Everything in between those extremes gets me acting as a polite customer and that’s about it.

    Have I over thought this?



  • You forgot that one of the most public corporate mouth pieces pushed hard for this with funding from advertisers who wanted to avoid increased oversight on online gambling advertising. They knew there was only enough political capital to do these things one at a time and wanted to keep the gravy train running. Not to mention they can now say “Well we assume social media companies are filtering out kids so we can advertise online gambling with a clear conscience.” Wonder how many kids living below the poverty line would have their material circumstances improved by any impediment to gambling?
