Google Domains Launches to All in U.S

With first hand experience:

- if you are paying google on an ongoing basis for something (adwords for example) they are very pro active with support.

- if you are using a free product, expect 0 or less support

- if you are receiving money from google, expect active hostility.

This is partly why they should add "premium" support to the Play Store for developers. Right now their free support for their almost free developer accounts (one time $25 is "free" in this context) is just atrociously bad, and the only way to fix it is to fund more human support personnel.

If I was a developer bringing in several thousand a year on the Play Store, I'd happily shell out $99/year for better support. I imagine I am not alone in that.

... you would be automatically paying Google with $300 for every thousand of sales. $99 would be redundant.

I agree. Both devs and Google earn money from Play Store& Admob. Right now with their intelligent algorithms, Google behaves as only devs are earning something.

This has been very much my experience. With paid products I had a Google representative actually on the phone and then following up after to make sure I was set. That payment part is key, and not unexpected given the HUGE number of unpaid people using their service.
