Developer RachelVT42 shared that just days after receiving a monetization notice, he received a payout far larger than expected, expressing gratitude for the opportunity. In replies, others congratulated him. He specifically contrasted this with OpenAI: his custom GPTs — one used by many people — never earned him anything from OpenAI. The post hints at platforms now paying real money to AI app builders, and the gap with OpenAI's GPT Store revenue scheme.
