Or instead spend some time to optimize your website a little (like not hosting yourself standard stuff like jquery, Bootstrap and such, compress images, etc). So you can serve 10s of 1000s visitors without hitting a 100 GB free tier ;-)

You're responding to someone running one of the more well-known developer blogs and hosting PDFs, it's not exactly surprising she might need a bit more bandwidth.
That does not follow, though. It's not like people are generally optimizing their bundle sizes when they are in services where that costs money like AWS or there's a quota like Netlify.

Not having a limit liberates you to deliver other types of content and you have something less to worry about. It does not imply not worrying about optimizing your users' experience
