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.
We all get to decide because we’re responsible for our actions. I should always ask if I’m using or abusing a service and if it’ll negatively impact others. Or I don’t and I run the risk of running things into the ground and losing a good thing for everyone.
You brought up a professional videographer as and example. A professional should be using a commercial service that is set up for that. This was personal use storage which I would bet was not used for personal storage, instead it was used commercially.
Oh if only you had bothered even opening up the article. literally the second line:

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
