The app for independent voices

Hard to say if it'll be good for Future. Presumably Open AI is paying them well for this deal. But if people don't click through and Future is still reliant on display ads on their sites, then it isn't sustainable.

It's also a problem if Open AI pulls funding the way that other tech giants have when they've gone from paying media outlets to contribute to their platform to ending those deals. A lot of outlets that chased easy money making Facebook Live videos were hurt badly when Facebok pivoted away from it.

We'll see, but the sinking feeling I have is that it's still best for media outlets to try to focus on business models where readers pay for the work. Like many Game File readers do (thank you!).
