20%? More like 2% (the whales)

This seems like an uninspired monetization strategy. But it's alright , it s still very early days , time will tell

Even a VERY conservative estimate here yields $4 000 000 a month in revenue which is more than enough to cover expenses and grow.

Very right that this is early days and yes, uninspired, but effective.

There will be new avenues for monetization once it matures. For example, opening the API for a fee would be another strategy that would earn huge dollars for OpenAI and allow some incredible apps to be developed!
