Is this a pure product placement aka ad? Direct link to product and only comment is a sales pitch?

Why not at least link to a blog about the story behind it or some learning while getting to launch, something for intellectual curiosity, rather than just "Buy this"?

Good idea

We offer professional headshot creation using AI and we’re competitively priced compared to competitors you find on web apps.

We’re a mobile first approach so you can upload photos, wait 30 minutes, and get notified when your results are ready. We give users 48 photos they can use for their business profile pics.

Each credit is $8.99 compared to the $30 standard price you’d find on other sites like headshotpro or Aragon.

If you’re a student or can’t afford the $8.99 credit feel free email me ali@cuff.live and I’d love to help you try our app. We launched 2 days ago.

I just want to note that I was able to solve this issue. Thank you to the googler who reached out to me to help, 'rygar', and the rest of the google cloud/pay support team for helping fix this issue.

I see many blame OP for relying on one single cloud provider without having backup and exit strategy. What if she/he is a single persone doing everything and having just barely the time to run the business? It's the same mentality I have seen from people complaining about Phoronix quality, ignoring It's a one man show website.

Yes, I have a team of contractors I pay but essentially a one man show.

I am very sad to hear that this happened to you. It must’ve been absolutely maddening to be unable to talk to a human being as your business was destroyed.

I haven’t had anxiety like this ever before. I’ve worked all day to contact as many ppl as I could. I wish Google would separate their billing from Google Pay and not have this dependency.

Now you have posted here on HN, I'm curious to know if Googler saw this post and escalated the issue.
alirsgp · 3 years ago
Yes, they did and I am awaiting a response. Being thanksgiving holiday might be slow

I’m missing how a google pay account issue affects GCP? Use a different credit / debit card?
alirsgp · 3 years ago
GCP like all Google services force you to use Google pay. I have 4 different payment options there, but they are suspending me until they verify my ID. This is a big problem in cloud services since being down for days or weeks or longer can destroy apps and their standings in the app stores.
