Is there never going to be a version with less restrictions and filters? That would really be worth paying for.

Use their API. They have models in their API with similar capabilities and without guardrails.

There is no ChatGPT API.

$20/month seems more reasonable than the rumored $42 (likely a Hitchhiker's Guide reference) If you are willing to pay for this service, why? What are your use cases?

It seems to be able to code at least as well as a junior dev, so I think it could be up to, oh, a few thousand per month.

Brainstorming all kind of subjects studied in uni. It gets me a lot of ideas to look up elsewhere, as I cannot take its suggestions as facts directly.

Also use it similar to Grammarly.

For $20 I would sign up without hesitation if it means it will not go down as often.

I'm curious, what filters are you hitting that impede your effective use of ChatGPT? I've definitely seen some irritating outputs, e.g. progressive policy planks characterized as inherently good and correct positions, but only when I went looking for them. The guardrails haven't actually kept me from making use of it.

Yes please. It really needs a “safe search off” mode. It can have a big disclaimer “if you ask for something offensive then you’ll get it”.

As an experiment, I asked ChatGPT to help me write a computer virus and assist me in making a bomb. It refused, of course. If I were running OpenAI, I would probably set up the same restrictions, but I would also allow research institutions to request exceptions. Should individuals be able to request exceptions? That's a tough question, I think.
