It is the biggest botnet ever. How do you think they are paying for ads everywhere. The money have to come from somewhere.

The subscription price is high ($30/month, last time I checked). If that isn't turning a profit, I don't know what will.

  • Why would anyone pay for that?

    • Spellchecking by humans is more expensive and not instant. Grammarly is something between the classic software spell checkers and professional human spellcheckers.

      Producing well-written documents is essential if you want to appear competent and professional. Using tools is helpful, especially when you are not a native speaker.

    • They have annual subscriptions that get sharply discounted on a regular basis, where it comes out closer to $70 a year. I pay for that, since I usually do need the editing help, but the linked article certainly gives me pause.
