This mindset is why we need "do not use while sleeping" warning labels on toasters and hair dryers.

This would be very valid comment if toasters had manuals telling that they are perfectly safe to use while sleeping.

If you lie in your marketing material then you may put yourself in a mess. Big surprise.

No, advertising unlimited and then complaining when someone truly does use unlimited is not a problem with my mindset, it's a problem with the person who runs the service, if you don't want people to truly use unlimited, don't advertise unlimited.

Sure, you specifically can use it million times, or even more (given your span of life).

If your audience is millions of users it’s millions * millions, not cool.

So if someone doesn't undeestand this assumption, then they are an asshole?

That's pretty crazy viewpoint.

Yes.

Companies that make millions of devices while abusing free APIs without giving anything back are assholes. Hmm, let me think?

No, it’s not.
