Why, you know there isn't mythical endless and free source of crab legs right?
Nobody should reasonably think there is. "Endless" is advertising. You're suppose to still respect that its a business and that other people will want some as well.
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.
The business advertised something to differentiate itself from the free market, it's not the free markets fault if the business cannot sustain what it advertised
It partially is the fault of the user
What? How? The user is simply taking advantage of what is being offered
The theater has a service where they clean up after customers right. So I can take advantage of the service by leaving all my garbage on the ground. Hell I could bring my own garbage from home and Leave it for them. Taking advantage of services in some cases creates a risk that you'll lose that service for everybody else and that should mean any service we use should mean we assess if the way we use any service is creating that risk
