#12I see such behavior from time to time but feels off-taste IMHO. It's almost as if would be more professional if they worked with the Italian mafia to coerce for payment(not that I approve such thing).
If contract broken, sue them. Why throwing a scene?

#14I build websites for a living and sometimes people don't pay their bills. Their website going down is usually not a big deal (sometimes they don't notice for months!). But their email, now THAT is a show stopper every time (instant payment).
How do you get their email to go down exactly?

#15As much as I want to side with the developers I think they are exposing themselves to legal repercussions and made their situation worse.
When you don’t pay for your salesforce Licence it disables your integrations, and puts up a banner saying this has been done for non payment so you should contact an administrator.
Far be it from me to hold them up as a beacon of moral value, but in business it’s fair to say you have to pay for service.
It’s not a humiliation, it’s just factual.

#16I did this like 20yrs ago. Would ask him for payment and he would go quiet until he needed changes. I made the changes and he would be like oohhh I need to pay you don't I! I give the details and he goes quiet again until he needed more changes
Why would you do additional work after he failed to pay?

People are now attacking the guy on Instagram because I guess the developer or someone, made a Tiktok video about it.

Disable the account or change DNS records are the easiest.

If you control the domain, you control the email.

Well… if you control their DNS you have their MX record…
