Yeah, the usual approach here is to offer a free VPN service, and then piggyback traffic over the user’s internet provider. Much, much more scalable and cheaper than offering to put GPUs at a user’s home.

Wow, that's genius. Basically, user gets a VPN but so does provider, in a sense.

You can offer them a free anything, really. It's a pretty convenient way to pay, that mostly doesn't affect the user at all (unless their connection is very slow), but generates value.

"value"

Yes, it does. Just because the value is for someone else and not you, that doesn't make it any less real.
