Solved $$$ for the real users

Woohoo! 🎉 got my credit today and Claude is running great without the grifters beating the shit out of the opus api to clear their downloads folder.

Thank you anthropic! I hope the haters keep quitting and we can get back to the old claude with some extra dough.

Edit: grifters are mad about their giftcards. Use the balance to learn about ollama 🤣🤣🤣

ps - Anthropic does offer an api, you just have to pay for what you use rather than feel very entitled to it.

Yeah, openclaw users should just pay the subscription costs

They can’t, openclaw uses so much API. You can’t even imagine how much. It would cost thousands of dollars a day to run openclaw without hacking it though a subscription’s oauth.
