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

Sounds like your buffet should plan for more crab legs to be made each time

Why, you know there isn’t mythical endless and free source of crab legs right?

As a thinking person, nobody should reasonably thing there is. “Endless” is advertising. You’re suppose to still respect its a business and that other people will want some.

If there’s not then they have no business selling an unlimited supply of it.

Where I’m from services should be as advertised, legally so.

It’s was unlimited. People uploaded whatever they wanted. The business had to reassess because these gluttonous people took it too far and so the service ended.

In what world are “unlimited” and “all you can eat” synonymous with “too far”?

“Too far” implies a definite limit, which is the antonym of unlimited and all you can eat, regardless of the business’s ability to sustain it. If there is a limit, don’t advertise it as unlimited or all you can eat that’s false advertisement.

In what world is anything unlimited

In the marketing department apparently.

Companies should stop saying unlimited if we all agree nothing is unlimited, don’t you think?

We should be more responsible with services offered regardless what the service is otherwise. Growing up i remember life time guarantees, they no longer exist because these people who abuse services
No, they no longer exist bc they were never sustainable, but they knew that in the first place and sold it as “life time” bc they knew they could make money by lying to customers. Lying is bad and we all agree businesses shouldn’t lie, no?
Whose lifetime. Your lifetime, my lifetime. Maybe the product lifetimw
