What’s a normal amount? What proportion of people with Dropbox or Google Docs or Hotmail are paying customers? Having a little over 1% doesn’t seem that bad, I am faar more surprised that over 1% of users pay for ChatGPT.

Honestly, having ~1.3% of paying users is fine considering they are using all the other users as free learning material for their models.

And the subscribers are underpaying by such a huge amount that they’re losing even more money from them than they are from the unpaid users.
