Too many users abused unlimited Dropbox plans, so they’re getting limits

You can’t abuse something that has no limit. Stop calling things unlimited and then blaming users when they are not.

Sure you can, they did it here. All you can eat buffet doesn’t mean I should take all the crsb legs every time they bring out a new tray.

You either get it or you don’t. But these people who abuse and exploit things are why we will never have nice things

Just don’t call those things unlimited then?
Calling unlimited shouldn’t mean that people upload things that are not reasonable. The issue here isn’t calling it unlimited because a reasonable person gets that its a gimmick that will have limits. Pushing it to that limit is the problem. Unless you can show anything jn this universe that is unlimited. I can’t think of a anything. A business calling their service unlimited doesn’t conflict with my understanding of everything else. I can reason what it actually means and that there is a point I would be abusing the system. I don’t need guard rails everywhere in life to stop me from being abusive

What is not reasonable then? Everyone would have their own ideas of what is reasonable. Why advertise anything as unlimited when it is not? Having a limit in their advert let’s people know what they can use rather then being told randomly at some point that they have had too much.

Advertisements should not lie about the product. They do it to get more sales, and then complain when it gets abused. You cannot have it both ways.

Its gone now right. They had unlimited because these people were able to upload their crap. Now its gone because of these people. So it was unlimited up until these users forced them to reconsider.

We all should self regulate. Like at the buffet, there are good reasons why I shouldn’t take an entire tray to the table. Its like how some people leave garbage in the theatre because its giving the cleaners jobs. Just because there’s a way for me to justify an abuse doesn’t change that its an abuse of a service being offered. The more we lean on the side of people who abuse systems the worse off we all are

how is good is the dropbox boot for you to keeping licking it?
