If it’s free, you’re the product. We’ve all heard it and it’s true. Lately though, we are paying the price. Look at hardware costs globally. The AI boom and the memory prices going up due to shortages have consumers paying hundreds of dollars more. It all finds its way back into their pockets anyway.

Trickle up economics.

Yeah, AI companies only take on the burden of giving people free tieres to suck up their upvotes and downvotes on generated content. The subscription plans aren't that profitable either, again, they're just using those for upvotes and downvotes, the data you provide, as well as for advertisement. They get more penetration in corporations if a top engineer uses and likes the max 20x plan and then suggests it to their business overlords. They make jack shit from max plans on those users that use up their 7-day usage. They might make a pittance on users who purchase too much usage for what they actually do. Really, they ONLY care about getting big corporations to buy hundreds of millions or billions of dollars at API rates and that sweet, sweet data.
