Ants that don’t cause trouble pay the bill. Ants that cause trouble are a net loss.

Customer service representation is one of the biggest expenses these companies have. That’s why they go to great lengths to make sure you can’t contact them and why they just close your account with no recourse as soon as you start causing trouble.

Every time they do this, a few hundred ants decide, they may very well be next and move out. Supporting them through whatever they need may not be quite the net loss you claim it is.

When my account started spending 300-400 USD monthly, I was contacted by an account manager, who was at my office for a meeting two weeks later.
