    According to the concept, should a number of people enjoy unfettered access to a finite, valuable resource such as a pasture, they will tend to over-use it

    Emphasis on bold.

      at least let folks graciously exit the platform.

      Are you aware the plan was sunsetted two years ago? How much time do you need to graciously exit?

        How much notice was given for data deletion?

        As for finite, due to the laws of physics there’s obviously a limit. If I try backing up the entire Internet it’s obviously not gonna happen.

        Sounds like an explicit cap should’ve been written into the fine print. Why are you supporting “unlimited, but I will cut you off whenever I feel like it” versus, for example, what cellular plans typically advertise: “unlimited, but you get deprioritized after x gigs”

        The former just seems to be not consumer friendly.
