If they didn't make all stupidly nearsighted decisions they could've been a leading AI company, especially with all those language data they've been collecting almost exclusively with all the spam filterations mods been doing for free. Stupid as hell.

They just want to sell ads. Corporate profit moment.

Why not just charge a reasonable amount for the api then? It's more complicated than that I think.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

they are doing it so they can show the investors that an API request costs A amount and each request earns B amount, and we get C amount of API requests a day so in theory they will earn C(B-A). which will be a larger number if B is bigger which is what they have changed recently. This is all about the IPO.

That makes more sense... But only if someone actually pays it. I don't see anyone paying what they're asking.
