Microsoft

Skype / Microsoft Teams: They tried to steal my money.

I had money on my Skype account (Skype is now Microsoft Teams). First, they always deactivate the money after a while and you need to reactivate it. Not enough that this is complicated, but they placed so many obstacles on the road to deactivating, And did this so smart and strategic, that even with all help of several customer service agents, it took 3h to get my money active again. they pull all the triggers they can to prevent people from reactivating their balance: complicated pesign, captcha challenges that are so difficult to resolve and so unusual in kind, several bugs that are so obvious and so annoying and so easy to resolve that it is conscious neglect that they are still there, etc etc. In the end, I had to spend so much time to reactivate my Skype balance and wade through all these complicated obstacles that the time wasted was worth much more than the money I reactivated. THIS IS A FORM OF THEFT. -> consequence: if a company behaves like this, I will never ever on no occasion buy or use any Microsoft product ever in the future. I use my Skype money until it expires and that's the end of Microsoft for me.

give us an option to remove doodles and I will give 5*****

There are always those stupid doodle clips that automatically play whenever I open google.com. I am sensitive to moving images and a sizeable percentage of people is, to some extent. Doodles harm me by distracting, by rendering me less fast and efficient getting things done. So I went at great length to almost never open google.com, configure my browser such that I enter search terms there and only see the google results, not the search page containing the doodle. But when I do reverse image search, I still get doodles. I have to spend more time to find a similar process to avoid them when doing reverse image search ... or avoid google and find a good reverse image search engine. How stupid is google that they do not permit us to remove this junk? Did they forget their own history how they got big by offering a clutter-free search interface? What on earth do they gain by forcing doodles on us??? They do not sell a single ad via doodles and I have yet to see a positive review of the doodles .... but I have seen plentyful negative ones.
