I'm paying $20/mo for an LLM service, which is more than I've paid for email, search, social media and hundred other online service combined. To me, at least, this will be a permanent monthly expense, like internet service or Netflix. And like Netflix, if an ad-supported version is released, I'll happily ignore it and pay the higher price. I just hope enough people are willing to do the same because I can picture the ad-supported-LLM-dystopia and it's terrifying.
