Watched a Chase AI video where he breaks down six "life-changing" OpenClaw use cases. Second brain, morning briefs, content factories, the usual. His take:, They all fall apart under basic scrutiny. I agree. The pattern is always the same. Impressive two-minute. Zero discussion of what it actually takes to make it work daily. Zero mention of cost. OpenClaw runs continuous sessions, so every task drags your entire context history with it. Your token bill adds up fast.
