That’s… The point of the post. They’re talking about ai specifically, but everything is monetized these days. Including people chatting with each other online.

And my point is that it isn’t “these days”, it was always monetized.

Things started out free and ad free. Google for example started ad free and proudly started that fact. Now it’s become a core strategy for them. Release a new product, get it on everyone’s devices then load it up with ads.
