They are sitting on a gold mine of potential advertising revenue from free users. Imagine the detailed behavioral targeting they could do based on your past conversations, without even requiring any third-party cookies, and without even having to sell targeting data to brokers.
@ErnieBornheimer not a stupid question at all. I'll clarify that "by 2025" is the commencement/start of 2025. I would've said 'by the end' if it was the last day of 2025.
@Canoezzz Thank you! I still wonder though, if that usage is consistent across the site?
@ErnieBornheimer no, unfortunately there have been some controversial markets as a result of the use of the word "by".
I've personally always understood it as "by 2025" = before 2025 starts, but apparently not everyone interprets it that way.
@DavidChee I would've thought so but I'll start clarifying "by the start of 2025" or "end of". As interpretation can differ, thank you for your insight.
