FWIW I certainly wouldn’t tell anyone not to boycott ChatGPT. Decreasing OpenAI’s revenue is good for the world.
I suppose if you’re using a free account and blocking ads, you are adding costs without adding revenue. The important thing is to boycott acts which put money in OpenAI’s pocket, which is not necessarily the same thing as boycotting all of their offerings.
I’m unsure about whether using free accounts is good or bad (I lean toward bad). It decreases gross profit, but it also increases usage numbers which makes it easier to raise money, which I think is more important than gross profit right now.

It also decreases conversion rate, which could make it harder to raise money?
