Isn't it pretty easy to exhaust anyone's quota -- for the write key is visible in html source code?
However it is not specific to this service but I have always wondered why this design(write key public and quota system) works, while it shouldn't.
- jakobegger 9y agoThere's nothing to gain from exhausting someone else's quota. People will go to great lengths to exploit anything for profit, but just messing with other people without anything to gain personally -- that's not a good motivation.
