This decision triggered a wave of discontent among Premium users who feel that their subscription has ⁣been devalued⁤ by this change.

“Oh great, so what am I spending 23 bucks per⁢ month ‌for?” one user expressed. ‌Another user ‌questioned the purpose of paying for premium plus under these circumstances.

Tell me again why I’m paying for premium plus? – Bjørg Hræfn ⁤(@BjorgHrafn) December 14 ,2024

“It feels like a waste of money with all ⁤the spam bots on this platform. Looks like I can save some cash when my yearly subscription ends,” remarked another user.< blockquote class =" twitter-tweet"data-conversation =" none ">So‍ Grok is now ⁢free. Makes me feel like I’m wasting my money even more ‍with all the spam bots on this platform . Looks like I can save a few bucks when⁣ the yearly sub runs out . -‌ Dude Duderson ( @10001110101C ‍) December 15 ,2024

While⁢ Grok is now accessible to all users at no cost , there are still limitations⁤ in place⁤ for free accounts . ‌Free users have ⁤restrictions on daily message ⁣and image ⁤analysis limits⁢ and can ‍only access basic features of Grok ⁤. In contrast , ⁣Premium and Premium+ subscribers enjoy full access to Grok ‘s functionalities . However‍ ,⁤ some users still feel exploited despite this arrangement ‍. ⁣“ Offering a Black Friday⁤ deal followed by making Grok free afterward feels unethical ,” commented one ⁤user .”I subscribed to premium just two weeks ago … should have waited,”‍ lamented another user .< Blockquote Class ⁤= “Twitter-Tweet” Data-Conversation=“None”
