But there weren't limits... it was unlimited...

And that's not reasonable to anybody who is going to upload 20TB. Every party involved knew what would happen

Why do you get to decide what is reasonable? I could see pro videographers shooting in 4k easily hitting that mark just doing their job. You're acting like this was a case of trolls ruining it for normal people when you have literally zero evidence that it wasn't people just using it how they were told it could be used. If you have bad actors abusing your system, the solution is to remove the bad actors, not punish everyone else for thinking you weren't lying.
