I did tweet this after I was given the link, but I think we have to think about this objectively. I found it it may have started on 4chan. If one of the origins is 4chan, this might be a big troll, and the author might be just coinciding events with their timeline.
I'm the first one to preach to people that they should start moving away from Google Analytics for their websites since they are no longer honoring the un-spoken agreement that they'll provide keyword data.
I also believe that once a website is making a certain amount of money, they should not only diversify their income, but move to test more profitable revenue sources such as CPA, affiliate, leads, and their own advertising display models on their properties.
But if their allegations of skewing Google Analytics are true, which is where I start to have some reservations about, surely there should have been noticeable outcry from people that are obsessed and compare server logs stats like Awstats and Google Analytics, or have multiple analytics software running on a single page (yeah, people actually do this - possibly for reasons like this).
There needs to be some sort of evidence, screenshots, or something... notes or memos from these alleged meetings or policies. I want this to be real, but let's not resort to making shit up... But obviously still re-tweet my tweet.

Yeah I don't really buy it. "This guy just earned us tens of thousands of dollars in ad revenue, but let's ban him just so we don't have to pay him this one time, and prevent him from making us even more money." Unless Google was in dire straits financially (LOL) there would be no reason for them to do something like that.
I have no love for Google whatsoever, but that's clearly a fake. There are no explicit details and it's all vague hand-wavy stuff that anyone outside could fabricate. If a few employees made a stand and resigned over this, as it claimed, then they would come out publicly about it. Of course it doesn't make any sense financially for them to do this.
Disgruntled user trying to play to others emotions to stir up a PR debacle, complete with dark shadowy evil conspiracy tone. The "big problem" and "big fear" carefully placed at the end is the thinly-veiled call-to-action.
