They didn't walk it back. Pixel 1 still has unlimited storage.
You're insufferable. Whatever fits your agenda.

  irony
  
  It's not insufferable to call it insufferable behavior. That's not irony.
  
  Ya because saying Google walked back on a promise when they didn't. Whatever lies to fit your agenda. Pixel 1 still gets unlimited backups.

  so they are robbing everyone else they previously offered it to. they are walking it back.
  
  They never promised it, like originally stated.
  They didn't walk back their promise. Don't lie.
  
  you are splitting hairs
  
  Splitting hairs?
  Google promised unlimited uploads on Pixel 1 at original quality. To this day, the Pixel 1 gets unlimited at original quality.
  Google never promised anything else.
  However, they do still offer unlimited on the Pixel 2-5 at high quality.
  You're being outraged over literally nothing. You're making shit up, saying Google said something they didn't, and you're crying about it.
  But sure. Call stating facts "splitting hairs", I guess.
  
  it's a rug pull
- They didn’t walk it back. Pixel 1 still has unlimited storage.
  And for some time, other devices did as well. And then they changed it. Would some other term than "walking back" describe "they offered a good deal to customers, and then changed it to a less good deal" better for you?
  Do you like work for Google or something? Probably not. The handful of people I've met who work there aren't nearly this zealous about defending it.
  
  They never, ever, ever, advertised other devices as having lifetime unlimited uploads for original quality. Show me where they said that.
  They do still have unlimited, though. So not sure what you're complaining about? Like I genuinely don't. Both promises were kept.
  
  Are you hanging your entire argument on the word "lifetime"?
  From their announcement
  Starting June 1, 2021, any new photos and videos you upload will count toward the free 15 GB of storage that comes with every Google Account or the additional storage you’ve purchased as a Google One member. Your Google Account storage is shared across Drive, Gmail and Photos. This change also allows us to keep pace with the growing demand for storage. And, as always, we uphold our commitment to not use information in Google Photos for advertising purposes. We know this is a big shift and may come as a surprise, so we wanted to let you know well in advance and give you resources to make this easier.
  From this you can infer photos prior to June 21 2021 did not count against the storage. And now they do. Making the product worse for users.
  
  Except they don't. Try reading the screenshots I sent you?
  Maybe stop fucking pouting like an entitled brat and open your damn eyes and read for a change? Holy shit.
