Gsuite suspended my account because I paid

> Apparently they have considered my account as high risk (fraud), and they just suspended without warning after so many years of using their service. I was using debit visa, guess that's their stand for risky account eventhou the payment went through with advanced credit. I have to get in touch with their agent for more than 3 times, waiting for their email but every time was a letter of rejection with a default template and can't even reply. Finally I get to speak to one of the agent and bulldoze all the way to their risk management team and finally got it through. What an experience....
Shouldn't there at least be a policy of contacting the account holder before a suspension?
It's the sort of thing that typically only happens when a corporation decides it has a huge problem; two historical cases that come to mind are Gerstner overhauling IBM in the face of the PC industry, and Satella overhauling Microsoft in the face of having missed smart phones and not wanting to miss cloud. I don't know whether Google thinks it has such a problem, or indeed whether I think it has, but I would expect such deep-rooted change in corporate culture to only happen in the face of such a decision.
I use the i.reddit.com mobile site occasionally; it’s not great, but better than the new Reddit’s mobile site, and it keeps my consumption of Reddit down. I’ve been noticing some odd rendering issues recently that occasionally make the site unusable. I’d initially blamed iOS 13 (I first noticed it soon after the upgrade) but as it’s the only site I have such issues with, I now wonder if it’s specific to i.reddit.com.
Maybe it’s a coincidence; maybe (channelling Hanlon’s razor) it’s just random bugs in a low priority part of Reddit; or maybe it’s the start of a deliberate but gradual attritional strategy to make the old sites unusable?
