Is it really about what it offers, or about how each plan are subsidized by Meta and OpenAI?

Meta is probably making money off of Muse. They can sell ads with the information that they glean.

  • While there are people around here that would still argue Anthropic/OpenAI tokens are "subsidized", I find it much more plausible that Muse tokens are, given Metas strategy of burning money, including on AI models, in hope of making something happen in a market they want to enter.

    • calling the tokens "subsidized" in a Muse subscription is incoherent. they arent selling the tokens. they are selling a product. the tokens are just part of the cost of making a product just like any other product in existence.

  • They’ve claimed they’re not using the data for ads… for now

    • There may be a reason that I cannot access it from the EU. There, they cannot repurpose data they swallowed for another use without consent.
