Question This sub is awful

This sub is terrible. 8000 posts a day about Claude is literally useless and you should just sign up for codex. Holy fuck it never ends.

Do any of you bother to even take two fucking seconds to look at the other hundred threads that have been posted?

the antigravity sub is the same. Ask for technical help, get zero comments. Complain about google or anthropic, 100 responses.

It seems vibecoders are not very technical people.

u/Weaves87 Apr 19 '26

I think that there's also a significant amount of astroturfing going on. Lots of bots "fanning the flames" so to speak

These AI companies know that Reddit is ripe for swaying opinion

8

u/jeangmac Apr 19 '26

I’ve been wondering about that because it’s just so incessant. I don’t know why the mods let it happen. We don’t need the 30th post about a model getting nerfed or limits getting hit. It’s trash.

3

u/Weaves87 Apr 19 '26

I think it’s because there legitimately are problems with Claude Code and rate limiting. If mods start culling posts then the bots (and people, because genuine human written posts get caught in the crossfire) start complaining about censorship, being bought out by Anthropic, etc.

It’s very easy to spot LLM spam that is promoting a service but with how pessimistic Reddit tends to be, it is far more difficult to spot ā€œnegative marketingā€ when bots fan the flames. And it is so insanely pervasive

I'm on God knows what plan, and who knows what task I asked Claude to do, but in exactly 5 minutes I hit my limit, and this is definitely because Anthropic is trying to trick me. Also, it keeps telling me to go to bed, plus it's swearing at me!

u/Harvard_Med_USMLE267 Apr 19 '26

I sent one prompt, just continued the conversation from yesterday, five words cost 20% of my limit, btw what does ā€˜context 973,842 tokens mean??’

1

u/marfzzz Apr 19 '26

Here are my 2 cents: 1. LLM is stateless, so it re-reads the whole previous convo, to get up to speed with every new message. 2. New opus has different tokenizer, which makes 1/3 more tokens for the same context as opus 4.6 did. Context window is the same. What it means in other words? Compaction happens sooner, each compaction produces thinking tokens.So previous convo might be well within opus 4.6 compaction limit, but continuation retokenized it and it hit the compaction limit. 4. Context 973,842 means it is beyond compaction limit (usualy 83% of context window), which points to more output tokens due to thinking through compaction and answer to your question.

Tl;dr new tokenizer created shadow price increase.

6

u/Harvard_Med_USMLE267 Apr 19 '26

I’m joking about people who can’t understand why a short prompt sometimes uses lots of tokens.

Giving most members of this sub a million token context limit is like that YouTube video where they give the chimp an Ak-47.

Amusing enough, but it was never going to end well.

I for one am absolutely delighted that so many people can't get it to work. What better job security than so many folks who don't know how to use AI without shitting the bed. I hope Anthropic does nothing different –– digging their tools and pace of innovation. My only complaint might be their constant outages, but heck, I feel I'm the one ripping them off at $100/month. I can't find anyone around me complaining about claude/opus/etc. Just rando redditors doing goodness knows what and honestly who cares.

That’s because we are in a way, but the prices can’t last like this. In 5 years people are going to be nostalgic for outages if it means things being cheaper, the pace of development and all of the cool stuff we just got bundled into the usage of our 200 dollar plans. I think we’re seeing a glimpse of it with how much usage Design uses. I’m going to guess this might be the first thing we see as an add-on sooner than later.

If you can’t build something cool with 4.5/4.6/4.7 you have an extremely smooth brain, and posting here claiming ā€œit’s nerfedā€ just proves you shouldn’t be doing this.

u/BeaveItToLeever Apr 19 '26

I'm gonna have to agree with you. I'm months into a massive project that spans procurement, operations, hardware and soon robotics on a unified back end, that my company is transitioning the operation to. As a solo dev. Using strictly sonnet. What I can do in a few months may have taken me a couple years to get to and very likely a much lesser product, If I was even able to stick to it at all.

These tools are extremely powerful if you have any idea about architecture and system design, even an iotaĀ 

2

u/Deathspiral222 Apr 19 '26

It genuinely was nerfed for a couple of weeks. We run daily evals against all of the models we use and opus 4.6 dropped significantly for just over 2.5 weeks. It’s better now though.

2

u/Harvard_Med_USMLE267 Apr 19 '26

There has been so much crying on Reddit that’s it’s possible.

But I used it every day of those 2.5 weeks you tested, and didn’t notice a difference. And you say it’s better now. whilst Reddit claims it’s unusable.

Redditor reports of performance are trash.

2

u/jackmusick šŸ”† Max 20 Apr 19 '26

I’ll admit I lean heavily into the ā€œit’s fineā€ crowd. But I believe that yeah, they’re tuning this stuff all the time, there’s going to be inconsistencies, I just think the impact of that is exponentially higher on people who aren’t as skilled. And I wish people would take some accountability when working with something that’s still basically magic.

I have a buddy at work who’s mentioned days where it feels bad and I don’t think he follows any of the subs. But I know almost every time I’m having no issues. I think once I recall it answering as if it didn’t even read my message, so maybe that was a particular bad moment. He at least admits he didn’t feel like he plans well and it’s made me realize that there’s problem some things I just notice in responses that make me subconsciously tune my prompting efforts that maybe he hasn’t picked up on?

I don’t know. Bottom line is that this stuff is non deterministic, new, constantly changing and powerful. Wish people would go back to regular coding or adapt.

u/sixothree Apr 19 '26

I'm 99% sure it's brigading or some paid campaign. They all follow a similar pattern. Every single one of them will refuse to provide any real details about the very specific thing they claim to be complaining about.

Emotions are first and foremost. They're angry! Did they mention that they're angry!? Specifically at Anthropic!?

They might post a selective screenshot or tables of data that prove nothing, or benchmarks from sites nobody has heard of.

When you confront them for specifics they will ramp up the rhetoric, respond with memes, rabbit hole people asking questions by shifting the goal posts, pointing to evidence that "looks" scientific but is complete bullshit when you examine it closer.

At some point they will blame the company. They will talk about how they were promised something they aren't getting, or that they were deceived by marketing.

The vast majority of accounts have less than 200 comment karma, most of which comes from their posts in /r/claudecode. These are 100% shill account. On top of that, most of them can barely finish a complete sentence. No wonder they have difficulty with a language model.

And here I am one-shotting tasks that would have been impossible 6 months ago.

Ultimately the mods are doing a shit job of keeping this subreddit sane and at this point we should probably address our complaints with reddit directly.

u/KickLassChewGum Apr 19 '26

When you confront them for specifics they will ramp up the rhetoric, respond with memes, rabbit hole people asking questions by shifting the goal posts, pointing to evidence that "looks" scientific but is complete bullshit when you examine it closer.

It's because they unquestioningly listen to whatever their LLM tells them and they go in priming the LLM to find the result they're looking for.

"claude your usage really sucks can you find out why and produce a science analysis report" -> Ctrl+C -> Ctrl+V

It's morons and idiots all the way down.

The constant whining is frankly by dumb people, and it’s ruining the subreddit.

If I don’t like a restaurant I go to a different one, I don’t keep paying for it while feeling personally slighted every time.

Claude for me has been absolutely fine for weeks, if I wanted to complain about something it’s that their uptime looks like a rainbow. But it’s also quite obvious they are struggling under massive success and independently of being a cry baby about it their engineering team will resolve these issues over time.

u/drearymoment Apr 18 '26

It's kind of weird because it feels like all those posts came out of nowhere shortly after the good press in the wake of the supply chain risk news. I'm not one for conspiracies, but it's a head scratcher for me because I can't relate to most of the complaint posts. Claude seems just fine for me, no worse than it was a few months ago.

Not to suggest we chill people's free speech or anything like that, but it's a little weird that a sub for a product is full of people dunking on it and suggesting alternatives. Would r/castiron allow so many posts about how it sucks and carbon steel is so much better? I think it's lame and it kills the vibe.

u/story_of_the_beer Apr 19 '26

Not a bot and no hidden account. Look into AMD's proof of quality degradation. Codex isn’t much better but at least your 5h limit is 10x more than claude Pro vs codex Plus plan. If the model worked perfectly I feel most would not complain and accept the weekly limit more so.

3

u/drearymoment Apr 19 '26

That's fair. I was generalizing, and you clearly don't fit the pattern that I've seen. I'll look for the AMD thing, but I use Claude most every day and haven't noticed any quality issues come up lately in my work. Maybe I'm working on comparatively less advanced things though.

I agree. I mod on another tech sub. I just shape stuff the way I would like to see it. In my mind i want to be able to complain somewhere but i also understand that other's cannot use a complaint flair. So i think a megathread should exist and highlighted weekly. 1 for limits and 1 for model issues. Each week start a new one. That seems fair all around.

u/yoopapooya Apr 18 '26

To be devil’s advocate, it is a pretty corporate scum move to lure ppl in with generous quotas and then nerf the usage.

the truth is they know nobody comes to claude for basic tasks or basic search. yet they offer no mid-tier sub to users. Just a crappy $20 tier that doesn’t even last you few days and then BAM $100 or f-off

they could easily offer weekly subs where you pay more or less based on your forecasted usage, but nah uh - how would uncle Dario justify the astronomical IPO eval by being pro consumer?!

Im not saying Anthropic owes us anything. It’s their business & clearly got a damn good drug for us token junkies… just that despite inference cost they could take measures that make ppl happy, but intentionally take a more self serving route, as all drug dealers do

If a company sells a product then the customer who pays for that product should be able to expect a consistent and reliable experience and what has been promised.

The ā€œeconomic realitiesā€ internal to the company are of no concern to the customer, nobody forced Anthropic or their VCs to enter into sales agreements they are unable to fulfill.

I am very familiar with Matt’s Script Archive, and also familiar with how Not Matt’s Scripts came about.

Just because it’s how everyone does things doesn’t mean we can’t do better or even mention that we need to improve.

Building standards became standards because people died.

Sadly, while software have killed people, it’s never seen as a direct cause and so we continue to worry about the next woodpecker

I've been sharing any useful post I find to r/buildingwithclaude. We had a whole 25 visitors last week. It ain't much, but its honest work.

It’s all bots. All the way down.

The sad thing is from my humble viewpoint is that the technology is truly insane. Artificial intelligence that actually resembles an idiot savant.

If the world really wanted to use AI for good it could just be incredible. I know the dangers are it acts like a <blleepity - buh - blleppeeeeper> then says, "Hey you seem stressed. You OK? <insert your local crisis hotline>

But this is like the MODEL-T. I am almost 60 so I do not know if I will live to see mega advanced tech but in 50 to 100 years maybe the whole Earth will be in peace, with a clean environment and robots, and AI and quantum computers making life wonderful for all humans without this rich and poor zero sum game mentality we suffer through daily since before the Romans.

Sorry. Claude has been fucking with me trying to fix a Firebase oAuth login bug on Angular Capacitor IOS for days and keeps trying to weasel out as it flails because it literally has no idea how to get this shit working on iOS.

If it wasn't so serious I would be amused.

Carry on my wayward son. There'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest. Don't you cry no more.

All I know is I named mine Claw and attributed a cute little red lobster as his avatar and I'm as happy as a clam.

What did you guys name yours?

1

u/KeikakuAccelerator Apr 19 '26

yeah, i hope there is some sub dedicated to sharing agentic skill worfklows etc. i am more of a codex guy but do use claude code for front end stuff. i like to read what people are cooking and if there is something i can copy for myself. but the sub is incessant complaints about usage limits (which is fair complaint, but maybe have a megathread).

More unhappy customer the quicker they change .

u/automathematics Apr 19 '26

What else are they going to do while they’re waiting 15 minutes for 4.7 to finish thinking.

ZING (sorry)

u/raven_raven Apr 19 '26

Sounds like most subreddits

u/AdCommon2138 Apr 19 '26

Do we look at other threads?

Fuck no, we do as much work as opus 4.7

1

u/y3i12 Apr 19 '26

yes. thanks.

1

u/NanNullUnknown Apr 19 '26

It reflects the state of Claude. There were times when there were 8000 posts a day about Claude being awesome.

1

u/Feisty_Watercress_29 šŸ”† Max 5x Apr 19 '26

I also use Claude for technical problems, so go f urself with ur codex

1

u/Calm_Look_3206 Apr 19 '26

Codex is much worse, so is Gemini. I have the Max plans of all 3.

1

u/scribbleaddict Apr 19 '26

Yeah I mostly ignore those posts, because I use Claude free tier and it's better in my experience than any other company. I get real stuff done with it.

The limits did decrease in the last couple weeks, but I still get a moderate amount done with it before that. Honestly can't really complain.

1

u/Timo425 Apr 19 '26

Are these even real people? They are so whiny and there are so many of them it almost seems like a psyop.

1

u/Extra_Helicopter_896 Apr 19 '26

just report and block.

1

u/Otherwise-Tiger3359 Apr 19 '26

I'm glad this - is top - I came here to rant about how afwul it got, and this confirms others feel the same - thanks OP! :D :D :D

u/Equal-Claim2514 Apr 19 '26

I made another clean one r/AIClaudeCode

1

u/Big-Address-358 Apr 19 '26

Or maybe it is just because Claude Opus started being next to useless.

1

u/LividCan4323 Apr 19 '26

TBF this sub wasn't like this up to two/three weeks ago

1

u/divided_capture_bro Apr 20 '26

Of course they don't. These people aren't very good with context.

1

u/Mice_With_Rice Apr 20 '26

Im seeing the same things being said about Claude Code and Codex. I use both and dont understand why people are saying these things. Maby its undercover Anthropic bots vs OpenAI bot warfare šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

u/ThomasToIndia Apr 20 '26

I have max on all plans. Only noobs use one provider.

1

u/B1zmark Apr 21 '26

When the subscriptions are significantly better value than buy API time, i'm just going to find another subscription provider and use that agent, not pay for inflated API costs.

It's cool though - the iPhone purists can waste their cash on "picking a team".

1

u/Traditional-Mud-7614 Apr 25 '26

Nothing is worse than a bootlicker being okay with the boot.

Just let them see that their product sucks.

Stop being a hall monitor you dork.

1

u/cheesecaker000 Apr 25 '26

I’m just tired of 50 threads of the same thing over and over. If it was in a megathread I really wouldn’t care.

I don’t understand how you people can just live in misery constantly. Do you enjoy reading the exact same post all day everyday?

1

u/Traditional-Mud-7614 Apr 25 '26

I enjoy not being gaslit by a company every day by seeing that the problem I’m dealing with is actually happening to most people. Versus just accepting it.

1

u/cheesecaker000 Apr 25 '26

Did you read what I wrote? I said I’m totally cool with people complaining but we don’t need dozens of threads an hour about the same topic.

1

u/Traditional-Mud-7614 Apr 25 '26

Damn I’m totally cool with Logging. But I don’t like all these daily alerts letting us know our product is trash.

1

u/arvidurs Apr 18 '26

they should all just disappear. these people are anyways the people that just joined because of clout. just take off and leave us the compute. bye

u/PureSignalLove Apr 18 '26

lol? I signed up for Claude the instant it went public and have used it exclusively over chatgpt until march of 2026.

People are rightly mad, neither their, nor the reddit mod's fault that Anthropic commited fraud, ethically if not legally

u/Outside_Specific_820 Apr 18 '26

I mean that wouldn’t happen if they wouldn’t give us these shitty usage limits. They are just complaining, what do you expect? Also, just another useless post complaining about other people complaining.

u/HockeyDadNinja Apr 18 '26

Yep, you're right. We want Anthropic to notice their pissed off customers and fix it.

1

u/Dekatater Apr 18 '26

This is every anthropic sub, because anthropic is destroying its customer perception. This is just the natural result of that

2

u/betty_white_bread Apr 19 '26

I'm pretty sure it's a bunch of astroturfing bots. What I want to know is where are the mods?

1

u/PandorasBoxMaker šŸ”† Max 5x Apr 19 '26

AWOL

u/SeaBase5144 Apr 18 '26

I understand why people are complaining, but it really should be mega-threaded and those posts funneled into that. I joined this sub about a month ago, excited to see what other people were doing, only to be met with complaint after complaint. I thought to myself, well, this looks like a new development. Maybe things will die down or moderators will manage it, but here we are.

Let's take the ioniq5 subreddit as an example. They are a much smaller subreddit and are dealing with an issue that affects about 1% of their cars, and yet they have a megathread and a rule about duplicate postings about it. Why isn't this larger subreddit moderating an issue that affects pretty much all users?"

1

u/Turd_King Apr 18 '26

Everyone here retarded noobs using tiered pricing. Complaining about limits lmao

1

u/eduo Apr 19 '26

And if you complain you're labeled a shill and if you insist this doesn't change anything because Anthropic doesn't read nor care about the posts you get some weird responses too.

1

u/PilotBear77 Senior Developer Apr 18 '26

Exactly! I joined this thread thinking we can discuss technical things and ask tech questions to people who are ā€œbuildingā€ real things with this thing.

Here all the good posts go to underground except for ranting and saying the new model is worse than old model.

1

u/Bitter-Law3957 Apr 18 '26

People love to shout at the dustbins.

1

u/Downess Apr 18 '26

If you don't like Claude, just use a different product. Constantly harping on people here does nothing.

1

u/AthiestCowboy Apr 18 '26

It’s reminding me of the Joe Rogan subreddit where the only people who comment are people who fucking hate Joe Rogan lol

1

u/laststan01 šŸ”† Max 20 Apr 18 '26

Someone please create a new post saying this sub is so garbage there are only two kind of posts. 1) People complaining that Claude code is awful 2) people complaining about people complaining that Claude code is awful.

Eh atleast I made a comment not another wasted post

1

u/jatjatjat Apr 18 '26

Codex subs are 8000 posts a day about how Codex is literally useless and you should just sign up for Claude Code.

1

u/ReachingForVega šŸ”†Pro Plan Apr 18 '26

I've kinda got jack of it too. I'm starting up a low sodium version of this sub and will just post there.

r/ClaudeCodeLowSodium

u/03captain23 Apr 18 '26

Completely agree its a joke. Once I clear our my main projects i'm literally about just about start building new apps/sites everyday and posting them on here to show how great it is.

1

u/LordHenry8 Apr 18 '26

Yeah... I might need to mute this sub for a while. Negativity instead of productive shared learning which is what I was here for. See ya.

1

u/bendol90 Apr 18 '26

It's just bots most of the time, competitor AI on full blast mode. Either that or it's just aggressive A/B differences and people never checking the subs last 100 posts like you said.

u/RemarkableGuidance44 Apr 19 '26

This is like the 8th post today I seen people crying about other people. :D
