If I understood they were banned from google ads (merchand center) because they used 2 accounts to promote the same activity, but if this is against the policy I don't understand what is the point, I don't think that the size of the market is a discriminant in the policy
I've talked several times to support after probably 30 clicks to get to a human and they are afraid of the rules. Google's support people doesn't provide support only can give you all their empathy for your situation
The author received an email from Google stating that their account had been permanently suspended due to violating Google policies. The author had created a second Google Ads account as a risk management strategy to ensure their main account could continue running if it received a violation. However, they were unaware that creating multiple Google Ads accounts is against policy and was subsequently banned from advertising on Google for life. The author had been working with Google account managers to prepare for launching in Germany but accidentally added the wrong domain to an ad, resulting in their main account being suspended again.
The author expressed frustration with Google's policy enforcement and loss of faith in the company, despite being a legitimate eco-friendly product seller with trademarks and in-house inventory. The author shared their story as a cautionary tale to others who may consider creating multiple Google Ads accounts.
Hmm. It misses the ironic 'thanks to HN advice' point, and more importantly it mixes up suspensions (if I understand correctly): the main ads account was not suspended again *. First the secondary ads account was suspended and only then the main ads account.
* This proves ChatGPT has no world model. If it had one, it would have been aware that undoing a Google suspension is impossible, therefore no account can be suspended twice. /j
I got -3 for asking that question, I guess there are more people that do text summarizing for a living than I expected on HN.
It missing the ironic point isn't that big of a deal in a summary tbh, I wouldn't have included that either. Your other point stands though, that's an important detail to get right ä.

I think it's because people are leery of threads being taken over by GPT produced comments. But so long as the requests/GPT comments/ are clearly marked, not too many, and with some justification for the request, I don't mind.
This is much better than OP though. It’s always confusing when people jump from one thing to another, while renaming things on the fly or implying details that are obvious only if you already know the picture. What chatgpt is really good at is structured narrative, even if it misses a couple of details here and there.
