I agree with you, it's most likely that the don't make changes that turn out to be hurting their revenue, but I was just wondering about it. Time will tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing for us.

I have to say that to me it seems that it's a little harder to start with Adwords now, without having any experience. Before you could just start with bidding .05 on any keyword, now you have the risk that you MUST start with bidding .50 or higher and that might scare some people. If that's true it can turn out to be a good thing, less advertisers is less competition.
