So, you can get away with blowing >$100k on adwords and nobody bats an eye (he was auto-billed), but on AWS I can't spin up more than a few elastic IPs or EBS volumes without going through verification hoops :)
I really thought I had to add a credit card before I could use adwords,and that they charge at the end of the first month.
I feel like there's something missing from this story.
Big surprise, a site named "freshasfuck" is not a really good source for news!
