We're talking about a website that normally gets 100 page views per day. Are you saying that Google should hire thousands of full-time employees to service customers who each only account for ten or fifteen bucks worth of business a year?

If one percent of them call once in a year, why not?

I can call a toll-free number about the 1 dollar pack of gum I bought. I don't get stellar interaction but it is still more than what we are talking about.

If you can not make it work for sites that have 100 page views per day then you should not accept them. Once you accept them you have to support them.

You can get just as bad with a $100,000 account.

Flip side: HN apparently expects that Apple should have enough people on staff to provide timely, professional support to developers whose apps might never sell as many as a hundred copies total.
