Your contention is that someone can't screw you over unless you're paying them?

All of a sudden, Adsense revenue has gone to basically zero. $90 of earnings from Sunday has even disappeared.
There is no way to contact a real person at Google. You can just post in their dumb little forum and someone with no authority who doesn't even work there will reply to you with the same pointless info from their FAQ.
If things go the way they have been, it seems like roughly $2k in revenue that's been pretty consistent for the last decade is going to be basically zero this year and there's nothing I can do about it.
Thankfully, this is just a side project and I'll be fine, but its not hard to see how they could screw someone over who relied on it.
