Grok was the best every now and then but they committed the capital crime of trying to charge 50% more than the competitors who were only 20% or so worse.

There's kind of this weird thing in Silicon Valley where CEOs and investors keep telling people to raise prices! The definition of a moat is you can raise prices!!!

But these folks usually don't have the experience of being broke or saving for retirement and such. They don't understand that an extra $10/month is a heck lot of money. And so nobody really wants to try it and it has a dampening effect on the virality.
