Not a googler, but: this is absolutely right.

Chargebacks are the mutually assured destruction of banking. There’s nothing wrong with firing a nuclear weapon if you truly feel it’s in your best interests; if you do, expect that your adversary will respond in kind and terminate all business with you now and in the future.

Sometimes that’s the right move, sometimes it’s not, just go into it with eyes open.

If you have a billing agreement in place with a company, doing a chargeback is just nullifying a payment. The balance can still be sent to collections.

Very possibly. If that happens, on the one hand, you’ll definitely escape algorithmic support - you’ll be in a world where people have to listen. On the other, they’ll only respond to certified mail.

I doubt Google would send anyone to collections in these circumstances. But - Careful what you wish for!
