Google - The Do Ongoing Evil Company Print
21 September 2007 - 11:45 pm - So I login to my AdWords account to see if they've fixed the issue with no ads displaying. Let me re-phrase that. I try to login to my AdWords account at 11:34 pm after working all day since 6:00 am.

But instead of a smooth login, in perfect consistency with the abuse heaped on me by the AdWords department's poor programming, and even worse support, I'm prevented from login by a screen that misleadingly states "We have determined that the strength of your current password is weak, and suggest changing it."

AdWords

What's misleading? The use of the phrase "suggest changing it." And the bit about the password being weak. Utter nonsense.

Classic Google arrogance.

Suggest? Suggest? That implies I've an option. I don't. I can't go any farther UNLESS I COMPLY. RESISTENCE IS FUTILE.

The "Googlers" that decided this block on login and implemented the text above it were not an "evil" policy ought to be taken out and "re-educated."

And all their supervisors should be fired while their vested Google stock is taken from them and donated to charities.

But it gets better.

Recall the phrase "the strength of your current password is weak" ? Well, this graphic shows the "weakness" of that prior password when re-entered into the same box. It was strong all along.

AdWords

Fire them all.

So it accepts the old password as a "strong" password and dumps me in to the master Google account. Then I click on AdWords and it sends me right back where I was - a Google gun to my head demanding my weak password be changed.

Fire them now!

I alter the old password slightly. The length is the exact same so the "strength" in fact changes not.

Thus proving that the reference to the strength of the original password was also false and grossly misleading.

Now it is 11:50 pm, 21 September 2007. To review, I wrote to support at 7:43 am, 19 September 2007. They failed to answer that day. I wrote again early 20 September. They failed to answer. I called mid-day 20 September and was told it was being worked on and to be patient.

All of 21 September has now passed without a response, update or repair. After going through the abuse above I see once again there are zero impressions on both campaigns.

22 September 2007 - 8:43 am - No impressions. No reply. No update. No good.

Google, all evil, all the time.
