The cost is just too insane. Most people won’t pay 200$/month for anything. At that point it’s just better to learn things yourself.
The 20$ plans are definitely loss makers and will be eventually increased in cost and enshittified over the next few years as we saw with GPT5. AI “startups” will collapse and the industry will be in the hands of a few tech giants.
Deepseek has potential because of it’s low cost but even that is probably quite costly.
