    Nothing you can do. This is the implicit (and sometimes explicit) contract we have with cloud services, that they’ll keep our data safe and keep the lights on forever. If you think about it, though, unless you’re paying for it this is untenable. A single user, when paying with their attention, will only ever generate a fairly fixed amount monthly. And yet the cost of keeping them on as a user grows steadily over time as more data is accumulated.
