I don’t know how, but we’re in this weird regime where companies are happy to offer “value” at the cost of needing so much compute that a 200+$/mo subscription still won’t make it profitable. What the hell? A few years ago they would have throttled the compute or put more resources on making systems more efficient. A 200$/month unprofitable subscription business was a non-starter.
