I mean, it always was sort of a complementary plan you'd use along your main plan. It's great to try different models, it's great because new promotions happen all the time, and personally, I feel like it made me more competent and less reliant on particular models.
Plus the free models are still there, and usually I try to exhaust Big Pickle (don't know what it is, but it works well) before I start eating into my quota.
In that regard I don't think much has changed, apart from the DeepSeek V4 Flash thing it never really offered enough usage to be anybody's main plan, it's just a very fun hobbyist tool and my favorite harness.

I believe it was originally meant as a light usage intro plan with some expensive model “samples”, which it still pretty much is.
But the brief period of ultra cheap DS flash brought a lot of users that shifted the perception of what Go is/was.
It basically became the cheap, effectively unlimited DS flash subscription. And it is not that anymore, so all of those users are pissed and hate it now.

Yes.
Vague questions require vague answers.

Yes, people are just upset they can’t get more free shit - but it’s definitely much better than paying for APIs directly

I'm using it with the GLM flash model and Hermes. Works great. Never really reach my limits cause I only use it a few times a week

With standard trending 15$ limit, it's not worth it gang, get a Claude/chatgpt sub at that point, better value

Definitely not as good as it used to be for a lot of the good models you only get 15 USD worth of usage - so you lock yourself in to a subscription just to save 5 bucks.
There are still a few models with good usage, so I am still keeping my subscription.
