Because then you're putting a price of entry on having basic support even when you fucked up. Any user from a country where even 5 bucks is a big deal is basically locked out of it. Any user from a country where Google doesn't take payment from is locked out of it.

When Google provides dogshit services, you expect people to pay for them to be reminded to fix it ?

They don’t have to charge the same price everywhere as the work doesn’t cost the same everywhere either.

Having to refund people in cases where Google’s AI fails would create an incentive for them to improve the AI and set higher thresholds for content to get flagged.

I think my idea would make the system work better overall without making it worse for anyone.

>Having to refund people in cases where Google’s AI fails would create an incentive for them to improve the AI and set higher thresholds for content to get flagged.

Here's how it would actually go:

* AI flags your video

* You pay 5 dollars to have it reviewed by a human

* Either immediately as it's conceived, or a few months down later the line when some manager figured out they could lower costs this way, an AI reviews your video again, and never finds Google at fault.

Never underestimate Google's absolute disdain for its users.
