Google is pinching pennies.
The mega conglomerate has sent a notice to advertisers that it will no longer accept credit cards for payments. They want to save the fees. Next, they will ask for cash!
From now on, if you advertise on Google you must pay by a bank account or direct deposit. No kidding. I am not kidding. (Thanks to Jeremy Brandt on Twitter and Barry Schwartz for the alert.)
Google is currently ranked the number 4 business in the world. They are also waiting for a judgement in a just concluded antitrust trial brought by the US government. Not only are they a monopoly but they’re making it harder and harder for small businesses to exist.
