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

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If you offer me "unlimited Hotdogs" and proceed to be offended by me eating infinite Hotdogs, you did not offer "unlimited Hotdogs".
That's "false advertising" Baron von Jenius.
🤣 Kudos for being the first to lobby that particular insult 🍻
They advertised a service, people used the service and it was as advertised, the service was deemed to be unprofitable due to usage, they announced the discontinuation of the service and no longer advertise it. I don't see any mention of unlimited storage in any of their plans

As long as subscribers to the unlimited plan retain unlimited storage through the end of the term for which they had already paid (which I didn't see any indication, then DropBox is fulfilling the terms of the service they sold. And the last two paragraphs of the article seem to indicate that DropBox is indeed doing that
So I don't think false advertising applies here.
