Wow!! My company made HackerNews! Yeah, what an arseache it's been - and just checked and nothing has been actioned still despite the negative coverage. Google

Great work! Out of interest why does an Aussie company charge in GBP?

  We're a GDPR solution smooshed in with the questionnaire builder mate. Primarily aimed at the UK market, but with the California GDPR equivalent kicking off Jan 1st..

  Possibly their main target market or could be a British company that was acquired.

It’s a clever strategy, and I think anyone who’s touched a computer in the last decade sympathizes. It’s terribly maddening how impervious these tech megaliths are as individuals or small business. What’s funny is that interactions between large tech companies can be very fluid in my experience. I guess there’s not a big power discontinuity in the big to big case...

They are probably salty that you used LinkedIn ads instead of their own.

  Had to use their adwords API before too. Can confirm: Made us jump through hoops on automated systems there too. Their contempt towards developers is breathtaking. I'd be happy to pay for support but duck that if I can't get a simple API rate increase PLUS a load of negative press can't even budge them into this simple action.

We have literally the exact same issue. I'd contribute to your spend if they open our account as well :)

  Hi mate. I just checked now and they've raised the 25 queries per second limit to 100, but the Queries Per 100 Seconds Per User is still at 25, sooo... They've done half the job which I'm super stoked about - can't thank you enough mate! If I can be a bit of a cheeky prick, is there any chance you could please ping them to get the queries per user lifted too, to 100 per second? I did ask for both in their form. If you could do this mate, I'd be over the moon - and deffo happy to drop some dough on a charity of your choice as way of thanks too, to pay it forward :) thanks heaps man. Really appreciate the help
