I wanna use maple, but paying for a year upfront in a market where I have no idea where AI is in 3 months is a big ask. 

Why not accept monthly payments, nostr:nprofile1qqs8msutuusu385l6wpdzf2473d2zlh750yfayfseqwryr6mfazqvmgpy4mhxue69uhkvet9v3ejumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtm0d4hxjh6lwejkuar4wfjhxqfswaehxw309a5hgcmg0ykkwmmvv3jkuun0vskkvatjvdhkuargdacxsct8w4ejuumrv9exzc3wd9kj7nfu4p9 ? Most paying AI users are probably paying 20 bucks a month for whatever model they're using. 

Accepting monthly payments at Maple would remove a big entry barrier for that entire segment. 

Right now, you're asking me to let go of better models AND pay a much higher amount upfront. 

You can easily fix one of those problems and have my tradeoff be *slightly worse models for better privacy".
