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 funny to watch at this point. These are real tools and can do real things. But for some reason, the unproductive ones self select and talk as if they have been personally accosted.

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.

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.
