You seem to be struggling with the English language and what words mean. This is beyond my ability to help you at this point so have a good day and good luck!

No I'm not. The issue isn't unlimited as the company did offer unlimited storage. You could upload whatever you wanted. The issue was that too many people used so much of it that they ruined the service for everyone. Which is why the issue are the users who abuse a service.
