Google AI Pro: Too Much Free Access?

The author claims they’ve barely had to pay for Google AI Pro: after the 18‑month student trial ended, they obtained another 18 months through a Jio promotion, totaling 36 months of free subscription.
They also note that AI Pro can be shared with up to 5 Google accounts via Family Sharing, giving those accounts higher quotas for Gemini and AI Studio. The post questions whether Google’s overly aggressive free promotions make it harder to sustain generous usage limits, eventually pushing more attractive features into the Ultra subscription.
