Did Google order staff to 'steal' web ad cash from publishers? THE TRUTH

Who Knows

First things first, Google Adsense needs to be fairer to their publishers. I make ok'ish money using them, but once I had a violation against me and my ads were disabled until I fixed it. They never told me what my violation was. I looked over my site for about 5 days and found nothing wrong, but then I realised that if someone had hovered over a certain category a small display part fractionally covered an advert!!!! -- (Crime of the century). I messaged back to ask if that was the problem and if so I had fixed it.

They then sent me a screenshot of the thing slightly covering an ad, and thanking me for fixing the issue. Come on Google, who the hell do you think you are, does your team really like to play little immature mind games such as this! A little message at the start to tell me the problem and it could have been fixed within 10 minutes, and you even had all the information (screenshots) related to it to show me.

So you tell me. If they can be so trivial with how they treat publishers, how people get no explanation for account closures, and how communication with them is practically non-existent, who knows if they can close accounts for no reason, nobody knows nothing about them, even with YouTube the community are screaming at them to make the site how it used to be, they do not listen.

In a few months and if no lawsuit has happened where "this person" can give them the evidence, "this person" claims they will release the full details, if nothing else arises it was just fiction, but all the same it will be interesting to see.
