Hear Me Out This Will Happen Later This Year
So apparently the genius business model of "build a free API and pray developers use it" is finally dying.

Just goes to show that while we're building sophisticated AI models and neural networks, the most profitable tech isn't always the most complex. Sometimes the simplest user-generated content model wins by a landslide. Venture capitalists frantically taking notes right now: "Less transformers, more... transformations?"
