fun fact: they all made above $1-2 million, some even a lot more via meta stock. so after that they stopped doing that kind of thing. ethics can be bought it just have different price everyone.

Obv. Google does not have support for users like us so I'm asking here. Pro subs. page and information page directly says 1000 credits each month and it says renewed. It has been more than 37 days since my use and I still have subscription left and this month they literally didn't give pro credits to me? I didn't violate any TOS nor I got any email about it.

So they are lying about credits, is there anything I can do about it?


Ask them?

support is not useful, I tried

more likely, investment bankers class and war profiteers with their friends!

Why not all three?

it's free for newbies and everyone, ofc it's a trap but freemium model gets people. aws can cost easily few thousands with 2-3 mistakes and clicks. vercel makes you start free then if you grow they bill you 10x-100x aws

I dunno I put a lot of traffic through Vercel, maybe 100k visitors per day, and it was under a few hundred a month. I think a couple EC2 instances behind a load balancer would cost similar or more. I was under the impression that its still a VC subsidized service.

They regularly try to get me to join an enterprise plan but no service cutoff threats yet.


You could probably serve 100k visitors from a $5 VPS, depending on the application.

That said, I understand people are paying for basically not having to think about infrastructure, and agree that that's theoretically worth money, if they could do it well.


another real fact: "Between 1964 and 1973, the United States conducted a covert "Secret War" in Laos, dropping over two million tons of ordnance during 580,000+ bombing missions, "

I’m about to read King Leopold’s Ghost. Great choice in username.

I must say it’s a little disappointing that things like “secret bombing campaigns” getting declassified don’t lead to much public response.


The revelation of secret bombing campaigns was one of the main reveals of The Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsberg. This arguably turned American public opinion against the war decisively as it revealed the USA had no cohesive strategy for winning and was repeatedly lying to the American public about the multiple fronts of the war in Southeast Asia for more than twenty years.

in few years the filters they will implent to AI models will be insane too. right now it only blocks bad content. future will be limitef for info

this is just the beginning, have fun and make sure to suppprt SV surv.

After more than 8 years of waiting with paid deposit, people don't even have a releasing date? how is this not a real fraud? what am I missing here? It's not a spaceship that would take decade(s) to make.

Time flies! Two years already since that video.[0] Anyway, to answer your question: He's a billionaire.
