$100 a month on an LLM subscription for hobby usage is an absurd amount of money IMO.

$100/mo. is basically the cost of a cable TV package. Often $120-170, actually.
If you're the kind of person who gets enjoyment being able to code all sorts of things you were never able to before, or 20x faster than you were able to before, then $100/mo. is extremely reasonable in comparison.
I'd argue it's money much better spent than on cable.
Also, if a hobby of yours runs you $100/mo., that's actually very much on the cheap side for a lot of hobbies.
Also, $20/mo. is for hobbyists using it for 2 hours at a time a few times a week. $100/mo. is for people working on a side project every evening and every full weekend.
