> would rather fail completely than not be able to serve you ads.

Google is an ad company; if you don’t watch the ads, you’re not a useful product.

It doesn’t matter you “bought a product”, this behavior is their corporate DNA. It’s the Office to their Microsoft. Time and time again, we see a clear behavior from Google: that everything feeds the ad machine — or else!

There is a continual and persistent trend in Google’s behavior, across a broad range of products. While any lone action might be explainable, as a pattern, they’re poor conduct.
