This is an out of touch with reality thing to say. Remember: not everyone has access to unlimited usage/money to spend tokens or the most expensive models with the higher thinking settings, exceptions does not make the rules.

I mean, you're discussing this with a marketer/someone wearing a marketing hat, who works for a company which needs people to use as many tokens a possible. That's their reality
Calling a distinguished engineer a "marketer" like this is demeaning, disrespectful and shitty, please don't do it. If you want to point out potential bias, there are more civil ways to state that.
"Marketing hat" is extremely civil. Back off.
I see you didn't disagree with the main thrust of my post.
You'll also note their 'About' is empty. Regardless, engaging with HN in this manner is de facto marketing/PR. Trillion dollar companies don't just let anyone post on high-profile social media websites for any length of time without permission from marketing/legal/PR.
Engineers can nevertheless also be marketers for their employer's products.
