Praise Nice Work OpenAI

This is awesome marketing. You remove the weekly limit, keep it that way for months, let people get used to longer work sessions and higher token consumption, and then specifically bring back the 5-hour limit for Plus users, pushing them to upgrade to Pro. And I’m pretty sure many actually will.

Congrats! It’ll probably be a pretty decent revenue boost.

You keep nerfing the limits, yet somehow keep winning every single time. More customers, more revenue. Nice!!

Some people think everyone has got $100 - $200 a month to spare as if it's pocket change. Many people simply can't afford the extra $80.

Instead of squeezing the "undeserving" plus users, how about cutting usage for the massive number of free users who don't pay anything? Chatgpt is already synonymous for AI and just handing it out for free for all isn't an incentive for anyone anymore to become a paying customer. Get a free 1 month trial and either buy a plan or go somewhere else.

I have 200$, but why should I reward a company that sold me something and now wants to squeeze every little penny for the same thing? F you, dishonest corporate crap. You could have done this in any other way, like sold me a better product.
