    Even if this purchasing model worked, it doesn’t make sense. You’re telling me that these companies earn commission on these sales and will try to find the best deal ensuring they get the lowest commission possible on the sale? Yeah right.

      They will start by skimming the referral dollars and depending on volume but eventually will start taking money to promote specific things.

      We are not really at that level will LLM providers but we will be soon. Soon enough Google will more aggressively insert ads into Gemini and not long after that they will start taking money to have the LLMs casually add or avoid specific topics.
