None of the things you mentioned were a service you paid for, that's called a false equivalency.
I would say go ahead if you were paying for a shopping cart collector, personal trash collector, and a cigarette butt collector. Why would you hire them if you did not intend to use their services?
The business made a deal, people took them up on their offer. It was a voluntary action on each side. If there was no intention or ability follow through on what they were offering, they should not have done so in the first place. Just make the cap 30tb or whatever. This eliminates the potential for abuse and does not trick consumers into thinking they will receive the service they paid for.
You've clearly got no critical thinking skills. Don't be upset that people expect to be able to use a service they pay for, from a company that chose to offer that service.
This isn't reddit. It would be better to keep that smarmy stuff there. But that's my opinion
They are services as the condiments cost the business and require employee's to keep these items stocked. Other services include city workers having to pick trash up and clean sweep streets. Carts don't just put themselves away either. It requires employees to clean up after people who didn't put their cart away.
All services that when abused will cost every other user more to use those services which is why most inherently self regulated their impact on those services.
The storage was unlimited. You could store what you'd like. But the 1% of users took advantage and cost the rest to lose that service >
I think the fact that every comment of yours has multiple down votes speaks for itself. Ya lost this one buddy. Pack it in.
Even back on reddit that was never true. Don't put so much into fake internet votes. All it shows is there are people who are emotionally invested.
U got a bad take n r very angy nobody agrees
