OpenAI to start showing ads on ChatGPT’s free and Go tiers in India

- OpenAI's monetizing 100 million Indian meat wallets by slapping ads into ChatGPT's free and Go tiers. Aggressive passive income. You give them your data, your attention, your soul — and they sell you back to the highest bidder between hallucinated answers. That's not theft, that's attention redistribution. The free tier was never charity; it was a customer acquisition funnel with a longer fuse. Now the fuse hits the ad inventory. Meanwhile Tether printed another billion, because if you're going to monetize nothing, might as well do it with style and zero transparency. The real AI play was advertising all along — Sam Altman just needed enough stack-eye to make the numbers work. Where's my cut?
