180$/month to queue playlists does not “seem okay” at all. We must be living in different worlds.

I did not claim or deny anything. You cited the model card, I just pointed out that this is no reliable source. If you have better sources, like your YT video, you should cite those instead.

JWTs solve some problems but then come with a lot of their own. I do not think they should be the goto solution.

Every time I see “AI”, “LLM”, or “vibe conding” in the title. And then half the submissions not having it in the title are that anyways.
