700mil is slightly over 2x USA population. And?
We can bend this logic a bit more. We have 8 billion people on this planet, and only Pakistan would be paying for a service that the rest of the world is using but not paying for.
We are talking about percentages here. 20mil is a lot. But 3% is not so much in the grand scheme of things.
OpenAI said ChatGPT had “tens of millions” of subscribers, which we estimate to be 20 million
I mean, should we believe them? Your source did an estimation too.
Also:
ChatGPT has 700 million active users, who access the app once a week
Where 20mil is about 3% of paid customers which is not as huge as you'd expect. And this 700mil are the ones that are only using LLM once a week. Does not account to the ones who uses it more seldom and/or are unregistered users. If we count those, paid customer % would certainly plummet.
This has been discussed on here many times. Barely anyone pays for LLMs. Only companies, corporations, and a few content creators do pay. Your common folk overwhelming majority does not.
I know Lemmy is a Linux echo chamber. But also, I feel like people did actually managed to move to alternative OSes or stay on Win10 cause they were fed up with NoPilot on win11.
Also, once Steam Machine is released, that probably will boost migration to the skies.
Same for me with Steam. I used to pirate everything gaming and only once I got Steam and a steady job, pirating stopped.
As for media, nop. Pirating never really stopped. When using Netflix is much more annoying than using myflixerz.to, you wont be coming back to pay for a service that is fundamentally crap.
If it is anything like Steam, then you keep this media available to redownload as long as you wan. Same as Steam games that got delisted are still downloadable and playable.
Been using motorola for a long time. I bought Moto Z in 2016 and it booted with "Motorola company" text in the end of the boot video. After Lenovo acquisition, phone updated and video now said "Motorola, a Lenovo company".
Thankfully, Motorola haven't entshittified over these years. Still a solid phone. Almost no bloat.
LibreWolf doesn't open tabs in containers, but it is kind of hard coded to never save cookies, passwords, trackers. Every time you close and open browser, it is like to open a freshly installed browser on a freshly installed OS.
Cmon guys. make a statement with your wallet.
With my YT, Steam, and email account being old enough to drink, will they till force me to upload ID?
