That was my immediate reaction as well. Then I though about it some more, and got to hell nah.
If you really spend the time to dig into all the details, though, you might find yourself saying, “not a fucking chance”
honestly, once the terms Google and bank account were used in the same sentence, 'not a fucking chance' should be my default reaction.
Hey, why not hook up your crypto wallet to it so you can conveniently track your transactions and balance
Given how bad customer support is, I find it laughable that you think Google cares about you.

Google already knows if you are a 10%er or 90%er, your ads wouldn't change.

The gulf between "google the company is willing to provide customer service to you" and "a google dev will scrape your data and attempt to monetize it" is extraordinarily vast. Ever moreso that this thread exists and we've got somebody showing off how easy it is to link your bank account...
That's what my second sentence says.
