Just saw this article from PCMag and this seems way to good to be true.

Lol yeah I guess that's true. I don't have anything I would want to put in the cloud that I also wouldn't care if it just randomly went away.

Generally these sketchy plans can be used for redundant offsite backup. If your offsite backup goes down, you can just get a new provider. I've never done it personally, but I know a lot of people use this mentality with e.g. unlimited Google Drive plans, or any other abusive use of hosting services.

Ah now that's actually not a bad idea. Wouldn't be bad for something like that then.
