>> at best they get a few dollars upfront for us to try it out.
The hyperscalers are spending 600 billion a year, and literally betting their companies future, on what will happen over the next 24 months...but the bloggers are all doing it for philanthropy and to play with cool tech....Got it...
It doesn't matter
Let's say super popular blogger x is paid a million dollars to shill for AI and they convince you it's revolutionary. What then? Well of course you try it! You pay OpenAI $20 for a month
What happens after that, the actual experience of using the product, is the only important thing. If it sucks and provides no value to anyone, OpenAI fails. Sleezy marketing and salesmen can only get you in the door. They can't make a shit product amazing
A $10,000 get rich quick course can be made successful on hopes, dreams and sales tactics. A monthly subscription tool to help people with their work crashes and burns if it doesn't provide value
It doesn't matter how many people shill for it
Some of us bloggers have been writing about cool tech for 20+ years already. We didn't need to get paid to do it then, why should we need to be paid now?
