"We cannot master any one particular modality in the way that a company can master that on their own when it's the only thing they do. Basically what we can do at PPQ, is we can bring all of these models in one place and we can make the experience 90 to 95 % as good as the solo subscription. And I think in some cases that works perfectly well for people, and if that is true, then PPQ is going to go a long way."

~ Matt Ahlborg

In this Chat, I speak with Matt from PPQ.ai about the broken world of AI subscriptions, the power of micropayments, and why Lightning-enabled pay-per-use may be the future of AI tooling. What is subscription hell really costing us, in money, attention, and creative freedom? Can tiny sats and better UX replace the wall of monthly fees and unlock new ways for creators to earn?

Along the way, we explore the pain of credit‑card‑based subscription methods, the explosion of AI models, and how PPQ.ai brings them all into one place with simple Lightning payments.

It’s a packed conversation covering Bitcoin, Lightning, AI, UX friction, and the future of creator monetization.
