You can get all econo-wonky about this stuff, about the merits of metered pricing on a per-token basis versus lump-sum pricing.
But in a sense, you can think of this as the early pricing in terms of how tokens were metered out.
had two really important characteristics.
One is they were grotesquely subsidized.
You weren't actually seeing the real all-in cost with respect to the loaded cost of actually providing you with those tokens.
And then as a kind of don't-pay-a-cent event up there with Costco, it was being bundled.
So you had a second layer of masking with respect to what tokens were actually costing.
And so once it becomes...
unsubsidized and unbundled, then you see your ass is dangling in the breeze of real token pricing.
Do you think that's good?
It's a lovely come on.
It brings people in.
It's like the hot dogs at Costco, except Costco has other things on which they make a boatload of money.
Right, and which is made worse by some of the early overexcitement, especially among large corporations that made the mistake of creating leaderboards.
