Warn others to backup their accounts/not mess with Google.
Try to go viral with Google shutting down accounts and put pressure on them.

the crazy thing is, they did cancel orders, one account they canceled the order and then emailed me apologizing and offered me a 2 day shipping free and a direct link to order again and a 100 google play credit to be emailed to me  in a month ..

It's harder for the Mint to track, and it's technically within the household limits.
