Watching a client's Google Ads campaign tank because they ignored search terms

Kimfisher calling it basic maintenance is right... but that's the whole scary part. People set it and forget it because the platform makes it look easy, like you just flip a switch. They don't get that the "automation" is just a dumb tool waiting for you to tell it what it did wrong. It's like giving a kid your credit card and a shopping app, then being shocked at the bill. The real problem is how these systems are sold as set-it-and-forget-it when they're actually set-it-and-check-it-every-week.

A customer told me my shop's estimate process was confusing

How much extra work was it to set up? We tried it once and the admin side seemed like a nightmare.

Spent $300 on a campus event speaker fee and it basically funded a shouting match

Our local library debate on property taxes got so loud they switched to notecards after ten minutes. The moderator said it was either that or he was calling the cops for a noise complaint.

My roommate binges way faster and it's causing show spoilers all the time

Man that's the worst, when the surprise gets ruined by someone who can't help themselves lol. But do you ever worry that watching totally alone kills the social part of it? Like, is the trade-off worth losing all those shared reactions just to keep a plot twist secret?

Pro tip: I asked a question about a specific tool and got a totally wrong answer.

Yeah, free tools can really let you down like that. I've seen them miss entire chunks of data before, which is a huge problem if you're making decisions based on it. Always worth checking a couple of sources if you can.
