as a longtime telecom beat reporter I spent years tracking how telecom monopolies dominated markets then nickeled and dimed users with predatory usage surcharges so it's wild to see a market that isn't even established or profitable yet jump right to the fee enshittification

like you're supposed to wait until you've dominated market share before you price gouge the audience with arbitrary and ever soaring usage fees, silly at this rate you'll drive AI users to on-device Chinese and open source alternatives and then you'll all be very sad

oh i highly doubt they want to do it right now. but they can’t do anything else. they’ve trapped themselves.
