I don't think there was much reason to believe the endgame was ever going to be anything but this.

  I mean for a split second I thought "Wow, they were charging for their service, this is nice". I guess that isn't enough anymore. You pay them and then they also get paid by selling you. What a world we live in.

    At the cost of running those models, they are probably loosing money on you.

      Selling your product at a loss until you take over an inelastic market and then selling your customer's attention and information to others who provide you more income should not be a legitimate way to do business.

    Unfortunately, the more willing you are to pay, the more desirable you are as a target for advertisers, so there is always a push to inject ads even into paid products.

    Growth must continue infinitely, how can growth continue infinitely if they can't charge you ever more money and also peddle an ever increasing number of ads in front of your face? What do you think the logical endgame is when brainchips allow advertisements into your dreams and you can be extorted with a monthly subscription to avoid braindamage?

There are likely several ways of going about this. - Listing Sources + Sponsonsed Sources - Sponsored short answer following the primary one - Sponsored embedded statements/links within the answer - Trailing or opening sponsorships The cognitive intent bridge between the user and brands that is possible with this technology will blow Google out of the water IMO.

Sounds a bit illegal. I have to assume they'd notify the end-user, at a bare minimum.

  > Sounds a bit illegal. Can be fixed by an EULA update that adds a clause stating "Response may contain paid product placement" to be im compliance with laws written for television 20 years ago. Legislation is consistently behind technological advances

    That would be illegal in EU.
