> and the best monetization plan is ads.... Again?
Their monetization plan is to have ad-free subscription options from $20 to $200/month and an API which charges by token.
These ads are for the free and new low-cost ad-subsidized tier that comes in below their existing $20/month plan.
For now, but they'd be stupid to not push ads on all their tiers.
You know what's better than 20 bucks a month? 20 bucks a month and ads.
But they could make more money if they show the ads to everyone.
E.g like Amazon prime.
