Your description is pretty on point. It was eerily casual in relation to how much turmoil it creates for me. One day it was gone, another day, it was back. I have no idea why anything happened.

I also think that social-media reach has helped my case.

It feels very dystopian that this is de-facto way to approach these issues with mega-corps.

It's ridiculously dystopian. At a whim they can end a person's livelihood, and depending on how integrated one is in their ecosystem, just erase their whole interface with the world. Unless you get a personal comment from a Googler on social media, there isn't a drop of humanity in the whole thing. Heck, it's almost ritualistic, like how some religions pray/yell out to the God's and craft offerings to appease them. Instead of rain, we pray for access.
