      My ******* channel was shut down in a completely unfair way. I always followed the platforms rules and never published content that violated its policies. Without any prior warning or a clear review, ******* decided to remove my channel, affecting all the work and effort I had invested over a long time. I believe this was a mistake by the platform and that my channel should be reinstated.I had completely transformed the original content, uploading clips of series and movies where I personally did the editing workcutting scenes, adding effects, applying filters, and creating subtitles to give them a different and creative format. It wasnt repeated content or a simple re-upload, but rather a reinterpreted version designed to add value and entertain the audience. Even so, the platform decided to delete it without acknowledging that effort. ******************************************** @Podcastoteca

      This is a complaint regarding ** and the Google Store. On Aug 30 2025 I ordered an Indigo 256GB Pixel 10 from The Google Store and picked it up at the ******* location.- Purchased using email address A under the Google ** $799 promo. I received the $300 instant credit.- Activated under email address B with the ** promo as the device is for a family member. The promo reflected during sign-up on the screen and I activated the device. - Received bill on Sept 2 2025 that did not reflect the $20.80/month Pixel credit. Contacted ** support on 02 Sept and 06 Sept who reiterated it has to be under the purchasing email address (A). I asked for an exception since I was able to activate on email B but was told those aren't the terms, as well as factually incorrect information about how ** and Google store are different businesses that operate separately.- Exception was not granted. The ** website is fixed now and doesn't allow for an alternate email/account to be used. Since I was able to sign up this is likely a progrommatic error on Google ** that was retroactively fixed and customers were not informed.-My first positive experience at the ******* Google location was when I picked up my Pixel 10, and I have purchased from there at least five times. That was thanks to the associate who helped me. When leaving the store I tried to exit through a door that is usually unlocked. Two unfriendly employees, after watching me walk the length of the store, laughed and then proceeded to tell me "You can't exit through there" whilst rolling their eyes. It was rude and unprofessional. - I like the Google ** service though due to inflexibility when Google makes a mistake and inability to have a customer support/success mindset makes it unappealing given the amount of choice in the phone and wireless markets.

      I am an existing Google Fi subscriber, eligible under the promotion terms for a $450 instant discount on the Pixel 10 Pro preorder. When ordering through the Google Store, my account only shows the new user promotion, which I am not eligible for.I opened a support case on Aug 22, 2025 (Case ID: **************** and was told it would be resolved in ***** hours. Since then:Aug 26-Sept 3: Repeatedly asked to redo the same troubleshooting steps (cart removal, logout/login, toggle CPNI, different browsers/devices).Sept 3: Escalated to a supervisor, told to wait ***** hours.Sept 6: Still unresolved, despite being well beyond the original timeframe.Because of the ongoing delay, my Pixel 8 Pro trade-in value dropped from $230 to $210, creating a financial loss I would not have had if I could have placed my order when first eligible.Resolution Sought:I request that Google:1. Apply the $450 existing-subscriber discount to my Pixel 10 Pro preorder.2. Honor the original $230 trade-in value for my Pixel 8 Pro.3. Ensure the underlying account classification issue is corrected so this does not recur on future upgrades.I have been patient for over two weeks, but each update has been a repeated delay with no concrete resolution. I would like this resolved promptly so I can place my preorder without further loss.

      I have been a loyal subscriber to the *** Sunday ticket ever since they started with having to go through ******* to purchase it. My price has been 480/into 4 months for years and now as a new customer they are paying 276/4 months. That is a huge difference and since I am not a new customer I am not able to get that price! A loyal customer of years should not have to pay more. I need this address from *******

      I am a small business owner in **********, *******, running You Have It ***************************, and I feel compelled to share my ongoing struggles with Google and their Business Profile system.For months now, my verified and legitimate business profile has been suspended without clear explanation, despite my repeated attempts to provide the documentation they requested including:My business license and registration Photos of my branded vehicle Proof of my physical location Utility bills and other business documents Each time I submit what they ask, I either receive automated replies, or am told to resubmit the same documents over and over. My case has been escalated, but no one at Google has provided a real, human explanation of why my business profile remains suspended.This has had a severe financial and reputational impact:Potential clients searching for local cleaning services cannot find my business on ************************* company has lost leads and income because people assume my business doesnt exist.Ive spent countless hours chasing vague support replies instead of focusing on serving my ********** a small, local company, it feels like we are being punished by an unaccountable system, while big corporations never face these roadblocks.

      For the past two years, ******* has been illegally and maliciously been blocking people from using adblockers on their site, saying that it "violates their terms of service". This has caused anger and frustration with people who use their website. People including myself have been having to download a number of other adblockers that work with the site or downloading another browser all together. Now, as of September 4th, ******* has just started maliciously blocking users on Brave Broswer from watching videos and blocking Brave's adblocker. My adblocker was working on Brave for a while, now it's not. And every time I try to install a powerful adblocker such as uBlock Orgin Lite, ******* prevents me from using it and refuses to allow me to watch videos. And every time I'm forced to turn my adblockers off, they force me to watch numerous ads, unskippable ads, long ads, and those ads are just shoved down my throat. This abuse needs to be stopped. This blocking of videos is illegal and it's abusive. We have a right to use our adblockers so we are not forced to watch these useless ads. All we want is to just watch our videos ad free without being forced to pay for ******* Premium. This nonsense about "Video playback is blocked unless ******* is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled." needs to stop. Please let us use our adblockers, and let us watch our videos ad free. This garbage of blocking videos because we're using ad blockers is senseless, gutless, and cruel. Shame on you, *******. We are sick and tired of being forced into this tyrannical abuse.
