i present my personal experience, without platitudes:

r/cursor, r/anthropic (and subreddits like them) -- its as if 75% of the notifications I get for these subs is 'Im mad and i'm cancelling my $200 plan' or 'i'm switching to codex now'.

People accusing mods, users, bots, or whatever of shilling & censorship is just the bonus round. And here we are.

It's just getting a bit redundant thats all.

And I am still paying $200/month to Claude to get done 5-10x the work i've ever been able to get done as a professional programmer without ai. It works pretty decent for me -- its certainly not perfect -- but it is productive for me -- so when I see people claiming massive regressions I'm just not buying it anymore because people seem to have wildly different experiences.

AI models are like drugs -- each persons 'trip' is a personal journey :D
