Certainly not everyone. I find it far more likely that both subscriptions and API pricing are profitable in their own right. The fact that some people get great value out of their subscription (just like some people get great value out of their car insurance) doesn't mean it's subsidized.


That’s a fair distinction. I think they are willing to subsidize individual subscriptions for people who maximize usage, but their overall subscription business may be profitable.


Anthropic are definitely profitable on my 20 eur subscription, as I have kids and no time.
