Observing how the xAi guys have been going about grok free users in past 6 months or so.

Initially all free.

Then keep cutting down slow to the point its unusable for free.

Seems like they needed our data first and hence the "FREE".

Now that they've collected tons of user images. They dont need free users now. They needed free users before to train their models in depth.

Free users were just a means for them to collect as much and as varied data as possible. They know how our brain thinks and wants.

Classic capitalism.

This is just my perspective feel free to add yours.

Would like to know a wider view from various angles.
