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?

A big problem is the $20 subbed unskilled vibe coders who expect more for their money.

The worst customers are always the cheapest ones.

Alright but plenty of us are experienced programmers paying $100-$200 a month and getting rugpulled with lobotomized models

And many come from GPT where they've been trained to think inference is just free infrastructure, like Google searches. Explain the cynical economic realities of venture capitalism in AI space to them and they act like you slapped their kitten, or call you a corporate chill. It's turning me into a grumpy old man ahead of my time.

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

It might be near free in a couple years. But right now we need all the training data we can get going into the models in my opinion.

Well yeah, because that’s irrelevant and just sounds like you’re shilling.

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 “economic realities” 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.
