Devil's Advocate here...

Brushing your teeth takes time. If you could pay $20 p/m to get the same results from say a stick of gum (i.e., no time)...is that then worth it?

The KB "as is" makes sense. But that's a fairly generic item. Adding value / differentiation is minimal.

Phone? Maybe. Put what's your service p/m? Is one worth considering without the other?

What crazy value? At $1 per work day?? It doesn't have to be crazy. Just 5 minutes per day is breakeven (and that's generous). In many cases, ChatGPT is more helpful than the ever polluted Google SERPs. One buck a day to avoid that? With the weekends free? Perhaps not crazy value but worthy of reasonable consideration.

No, because I start the kettle (or coffeemaker, depending on what I want) before I start brushing. I brush my teeth while waiting for the kettle to boil.

I don't get that time back if I don't brush my teeth; I still have to wait for the coffee anyway.
