Long time ago newspapers aren't bombarded with ads, until realized. Same thing with tuning to radio stations. Same thing with TVs. Years ago, "Googling" shows little to no signs of targeted ads, until it's realized they can abuse cow's milk. Still, same thing for AI. #ads #monetization #attention

First there must be a monopoly (or oligopoly where every market player agrees to also introduce these invasive ads), so people cannot switch to a service without ads. This might be hard with LLMs, they are just (sometimes big) ZIP files, many are freely available (DeepSeek/Kimi/Llama).

1. 💯 on that, yeah there has to be someone on top of the food chain. Control is the name of the game. 2. I may be drinking too much dystopian kool-aid, but I'm scared the day when asking questions will have a paywall and free tiers are garbage
