They're in the first phase of enshittification. Offering everything for free or cheap to gather marketshare and get us hooked on the product. This is when things seem wonderful for the consumer. A win-win. Amazing how the lord, our free market, provides!
Don't worry, once they're established and the lines between the competition have been drawn we'll be milked to pay it all back five fold. We'll be coughing up expensive subscriptions and ads and pay with our data, while quality decreases to cut costs. Thanks for booking that flight with your certified (TM) partner airline, ChatGPT. Could you please stop asking if I want a rental car, a hotel, a meal or a suitcase with that? Sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. Unless you pay another $25 a month for an ad free experience of course!
