I think most big tech companies are like this and it's just going to get worse as AI adoption increases internally. 2 days ago I tried to create new gmail account and Google insisted that my phone number was used too many times. Fine, I'll pay for a new workspace account... Submit my billing information, that same that I use on other accounts but now there is an extra validation step that requires my ID and copies of…

That's bad for you don't have the account yet but at Google, once you're a paying customer --and hence you're not the product anymore--, there are actual people helping you on the phone when you call them. Of course the catch-22 here is that you don't have the Workspace account yet, so you may sorry out of luck.

I've ran into this even in my limited advertising on meta - they actaully want you to use the actual individual's facebook account to manage the ads accounts, even on behalf of the clients through the agency. This is kind of insane behavior but when you remember that google actually supports enterprise domains and SSO and facebook has very little of that - or relatively little - it makes sense. If you are personally…

If platforms didn't hand out bans like candy (probably USING said AI!) this MIGHT make a bare modicum of sense

Every appeal just gets an automated rejection with no real explanation. Now I’m getting warnings that I’m “at risk of…

Man, fuck Facebook Marketplace. I cannot figure out for the life of me why everyone decided to abandon the perfectly useable Craigslist for that unreliable, buggy, scam-laden pile of hot garbage. Never once have I had a single good experience with Facebook Marketplace.

I ran into the same thing, I deleted my Facebook account years ago, needed a business account to run ads, signed up and instantly banned when I wasn't even banned when was originally a Facebook user, guess it's punishment for my desertion.

I'd bill those wasted hours on your clients. Tell them ads are cheaper elsewhere. But really. Facebook doesn't care. They've got their eyes on your clients and want to cut you out using AI tools that are easy to use.

Except the clients want to be seen on Facebook because their social groups are on there.
