Poser/Daz…
(seriously)
I KNOW that I am an employee, but many will remember that I was a user for nearly a decade before being hired. In all that time (well, since the start of the 3D Warehouse), I do not think that I can anywhere near 100 files downloaded in a day… or even a week. Fact is, most people will not run up against this cap.

no I’m not against it because I’m against it 
I see a business trend here, once you take possession of something that doesn’t belong to you everything can happen after, true no one need to download 100 models per day, but will you be OK if this changes to 2 download per day unless you subscribe and pay?
Jody from Sketchup Trimble says, “We never said we would continue to reduce the number of files that could be downloaded, that is conjecture.” but he never said they won’t either , there is no guarantee after this, because what has happened is wrong and shouldn’t have happened. even tho it wouldn’t hurt us for now.
I was trying to estimate my use of 3D Warehouse, and I think that in all of the time it has existed I didn’t yet reach 100 downloads.

I haven’t yet heard a single case where a user would even be inconvenienced by this limit under the hobby license…

And that you make DAZZLING Sketchup videos?
Right?

You are only guessing about a possible degrading of download counts per day: you try to find the hair in the soup - a german saying when someone try to find something where is nothing to find.

In all seriousness, do you truly believe that a SketchUp free user would pay and subscribe just to get past this supposed “pay wall?”
I only ask because that is the only scenario I can imagine in which this change would generate revenue. And if this was the case, that user isn’t a using SketchUp professionally in the first place.

btw, according to the ‘Terms of Service’ uploading to the 3DWH you have granted Trimble a license to copy/use/distribute/market etc. your models:
9. Distribution of Models through 3D Warehouse
B. Grant of Licenses. Distributors grant two licenses to their Models as follows:To Trimble. For all Models you Distribute on or through 3D Warehouse, you hereby grant to Trimble a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, transferrable (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers), irrevocable license (under all applicable intellectual property rights) to copy, publicly perform and display, use, distribute, create derivative works of, store, promote, market, support, transmit, and otherwise make available on or through 3D Warehouse each Model and related content, including without limitation as necessary to promote, operate and make available 3D Warehouse and any related Trimble products or services.

Trimble took over in 2012, Sketchup existed since 2000, you are talking about hundred thousands model people submitted in years, thinking its a free sharing platform.
I was in Germany a long time ago, and my hosts took me out to dinner. There was a tiny insect in my salad, I think I may have accepted a replacement, but me as a shy English guy, I wasn’t too bothered by it. My German hosts said that if their boss was there he would have demanded free dinners for all of us.
I’m pretty sure she’s a he …

I apologize, my mistake.
for those of you who can read and understand German, I’m sure there are lot of great resources to learn about property theft, wage theft, exploitation of labor,and to make it simple ‘getting a free ride’!
Didn’t the 3D Warehouse come into existence in 2006…?
Google sold SketchUp to Trimble in 2012…?

Also I don’t have access to their history of TOS, but as you can see here as of 2011, these models were ‘non-exclusive’ :
“The license that content creators must grant under the TOS is straightforward. Both Google and end users have a non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to use any content uploaded under the terms of the TOS. I”

First, 3D Wareouse has never been a warez platform (for unlimited free stuff, no rules), it has always had a license with similar conditions just worded differently.
Second, all 3D Warehouse authors agreed (or had the chance to disagree and leave) the rewording of the license during many license updates, including the transition from Google to Trimble.
Again, the property is not taken away. You are still in control and can offer it additionally anywhere else you like. But in 3DWH, you are offering your property on other people’s property and expect you can dictate the rules. When you sell apples on a market or other goods on a trade fair, you also pay the owner of the market for the usage of their property. Here, you get the chance of offering for free, and complain that you want more?
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Beggars can’t be choosers.
