Microsoft announced yesterday that they plan to downgrade their various OneDrive storage offerings.
Office 365 Home, Personal and University customers are now limited to 1 TB of OneDrive storage instead of unlimited storage. The 100GB and 200GB OneDrive plans are discontinued. They will be replaced by a 50GB plan for $1.99 per month in early 2016. Free storage will be reduced from 15GB to 5GB for all free users. The camera roll bonus of 15GB will be discontinued.
Microsoft's reasoning for the OneDrive storage offering downgrades: "A small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings. In some instances, this exceeded 75 TB per user or 14,000 times the average."

I don't think it's only Microsoft, they aren't singled out. All large organizations are used like punching bags. You may only feel this way because you have a tighter affiliation with Microsoft than most people. I write C# most days so i depend on their existence. But i also have a sweet collection of Windows 10 bluescreens (pic taken by phone) that i use as desktop backgrounds in a 5 minute rotation. I can bash on MS at work and bash on Linux (hah!) at home. Microsoft is just a much much larger to shoot at.
That being said, this article, summary, and headline do not appear to be FUD. If you do see some, feel free to point it out.
