Whenever you're dealing with a long term supplier, you have to consider how long they can sustain themselves. If you're looking at an "unlimited" plan with the intention to get a service for a deeply discounted rate, you have to use your due diligence and consider how sustainable it would be. The tweet talks about 500TB. That's $30kpa with Backblaze B2, $126kpa on S3 before any data movement. It's £10k in raw drives without any redundancy. Unless the "unlimited" plan is $50kpa there's no way that would ever be viable for a business to take on indefinitely. Yes, it's deeply irresponsible for Google to make promises (they know more than most how much free services get abused), but customers have to be aware too.
