> 500,000,000 people paying $75/mo is $450B/yr.

Majority of people use ChatGPT for free, that's why they are introducing ads. Normal people will not pay 70-100$ per month for LLM subscription. Your numbers are way off.

I'm sure if cell phones were free, the majority would be free users too.

But beside that, OpenAI is pricing ads at $60/1000 views. That is 3x what Meta charges, which is around $20/1000. Meta pulls about $20/user/month in ad revenue. Triple that and we land at....$60/mo.
