I’ve been noticing something lately and I’m curious if anyone else feels the same way. Premium AI plans are slowly getting worse. The usage limits keep shrinking while the price stays the same or goes up. The whole drama around Gemini cutting quotas is a good example. Google is one of the richest companies in the world and they can’t keep the limits reasonable for people who are actually paying? That’s a bit ridiculous. And here’s what I think happens if this keeps going. Regular people will just stop subscribing. Why pay $20 or $30 a month for a watered down experience when you can hire a freelancer or small agency that already has a top tier plan? They buy the expensive plans, handle the work for multiple clients, and it ends up being cheaper for everyone involved. The AI companies basically push people into that direction themselves. The funny part is that by squeezing regular users, these companies might actually be speeding up a future where individual subscriptions don’t even make sense anymore. And if that happens, how do these companies justify their billion dollar valuations? A lot of that value is built on the idea that everyone will be paying for AI monthly, just like Netflix. If regular users start dropping off, that whole story starts to fall apart. So is this just a rough patch while they figure out infrastructure costs, or is this the actual long term plan? Price out casual users and focus only on big enterprise clients? submitted by /u/Dimention_less
