This is likely one of the main reasons why they're offering ChatGPT for free and running ChatGPT Plus at a loss.

As opposed to what though? Its not like there a huge demand for these apps that they can charge money. They have no option but to give it away for free .

Are you not aware that half the industry is using it to generate (at least some portion of) their code? And that many are paying for the privilege?

Are you not aware of flatlining user growth? or are you under the impression that coders paying for these apps are enough to make them profitable?
