<p>The point is that the Fed isn't classifying those things. "Ordinary" includes all primary mortgages, whether for a modest home or a luxury pad. It includes all personal car payments, whether for a shared Honda or a Maserati.</p>

<p>The phone tree stuff on Pixel is decent but nowhere near 100% reliable or robust.<p>If it hears and understands an automated system speaking out a phone tree, it will start to list the options and you can tap on them. Usually works but often doesn't recognize that a phone tree is happening. Other times it recognizes the phone tree, but mistranscribes the options.<p>As a non-deaf person, it's a handy UX improvement. But I wouldn't recommend that anyone rely on it.</p>

<p>Just to be really clear since I had to call the IRS tax hotline the other day... they are real experts over there.<p>And generally, people will tell me, "I'm not sure" or "I don't know". They won't just start wildly making things up but stating them in a way that sounds plausible.</p>

<p>Yeah, good point. This would probably be better received overall if it were a per-artist minimum rather than a per-track.<p>On the other hand, that would make it pretty trivial for garbage/AI content distributors to circumvent.</p>

<p>First off, it's not strictly true that medical debt won't show up on a consumer credit report. Medical debts that are in collections will eventually show up, if they are large enough.<p>Secondly, it's still a legal debt. That means the billing department will employ escalating collection tactics for large debts where they believe the debtor has sufficient assets.</p>

<p><i>UPDATE (2024-03-26):</i><p>A business development manager at Meta saw this post yesterday and escalated the issue internally. They provisionally unsuspended our account this morning.<p>This afternoon, the collections team confirmed that they received our payment, and applied it to the account.<p>Thanks to everyone for their advice and input. For what it's worth, we'll definitely maintain a presence on Meta, but our team is taking a second look at TikTok for marketing.</p>
