Its not really the ads that are the signal so much as the fact that they are slapping ads onto it BEFORE it has developed enough to actually be a useful product. They have direct competition that is not ad supported and they just "aren't there yet" in terms of making a product that everyone feels like they need to engage with regardless of ads. Slapping ads on something before its actually demonstrated the ability to succeed as a product is just rolling the dice to see if it makes money magically appear. Its desperation.
Yeah we will see. Certainly looks at least like the Ai race has paused for the last month.
