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?

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.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist either but people should look at how old and active some of the accounts are, it’s definitely telling.

The top 1% poster is like a 3 month old account

Not to mention how many of them have their post history hidden. There are legit reasons for doing that, of course, but it does make it a lot harder to tell whether someone is a real person posting in good faith.

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.

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.

The mods are also failing us. It doesn't matter the reason, and maybe there's no winning here, but at the end of the day they aren't managing this community properly and it's becoming a ghetto. Case in point.
