It's also contained by human biology. If you come to my house I could probably make you more chili than you can reasonably eat, as long as I say I'm not going to bring you any more chili until you finish what you already have, there's no possible way for you to ever overwhelm my chili supply.

Common Sense also comes in the play, in America it's not uncommon to see homeless people go to an all you can eat buffet and while they can pay for a meal, they'll try to camp out there and eventually a manager will escort them out.

I definitely don't like unlimited when it comes to anything though, that goes for data as well. For example if you get an unlimited T-Mobile plan and you're using 10 terabytes a month, you're going to either get throttled or kicked off the service.

I'd much prefer laws to be in place which would force T-Mobile to advertise 500 gigs a month or whatever the actual allotment is. Likewise charging someone $1,500 for unlimited revisions is almost soft fraud because it's absolutely impossible for that to scale. Once you get more than three or four clients you would end up telling them actually I can only do four revisions a month.

As I said in my other comment here I'd much prefer to just pay his or her hourly rate.
