ChatGPT Ads Expand to Europe, Targeting Both Free and Paid Users
eyishazyer · x · 2026-08-20

The timing reflects OpenAI's financial strain, with reports of billions in losses exceeding revenue as compute costs outpace income. This is less of a feature rollout and more of a monetization squeeze on all accounts. What started as a small US pilot six months ago is now becoming the default across dozens of countries.
