@vampiress this problem doesn’t have a technical solution

it could be handled with regulation, for example LLM companies paying per GB downloaded into a fund, and hosting companies getting paid out of that fund with refunds they have to give to their customers

@thomasfuchs @vampiress I think this is broadly the direction things will end up going, although with publishers rather than hosting companies setting the fee per-request and receiving the funds. I don’t know that I’m even against it as it could also lead to trivial per-article pricing from news publications rather than their current doomed model of selling ad space and tracking cookies.
