> streaming platforms that have ad-subsidized subscriptions with ads (as the name suggests) certainly haven't been driven out by market competition which ones don't have an ad free tier?

YouTube didn't have an ad-free tier for a very long time

If YouTube was forced to offer an ad-free tier due to competition that supports the claim above.

Eventually the price of RAM will revert to the mean and start going down again. GPU power will continue to climb. Model efficiency (intelligence per billion params) will increase. These trends combined will mean that eventually it will seem old-fashioned to use a remotely-hosted model for anything other than the most demanding tasks. Just as we don't use mainframes for computation anymore outside of niche tasks like…

> Just as we don't use mainframes for computation anymore outside of niche tasks like 3D render farms. The entire banking sector would like a word.

Relative to the rest of software development, I would classify core banking as niche.

Ads can be a nuisance but if/ when done they can be nice too.

I hate the Google sponsored results/ ads, often they masquerade as an organic result and push the actual relevant results down in the list.

YouTube has control of their platform. They have enough control to detect and demonetize people when they say such "harmful" and "dangerous" words as "kill" and "sex". This is further evidenced by the fact that they provide the sponsored segment skip feature that you reference[0]. They know this is going on and they allow it, despite it ruining the service that members pay for. If content creators can't live off of t…

First off the content creators don't mark up where sponsored segments are, the algo builds on statistics of where people skip. So if a video is fresh, it might not work. Second, you are capable of building a coherent argument, but left out that almost half of viewers don't pay. When you are a child, paying for things is frustrating and annoying, so the ones taking the money are bad. When you grow up, you realize that…

I can do without the condescending attitude. I caught it the first time but tried to give you the benefit of doubt. I didn't do anything to you.

We all know the pattern: something useful launches → it becomes popular → it needs to make money → ads everywhere. AI chat is heading the same way. So I built a fully interactive demo that shows what an ad-supported AI chatbot could actually look like: https://99helpers.com/tools/ad-supported-chat It includes every monetization pattern you can think of: - Pre-chat interstitials (like YouTube pre-rolls, but for chat)…
