> Does Claude Code have office hours basically?

Yes. Now pay up or you will be replaced.

IMO this strategy seems inspired by TikTok's approach for retaining new uploaders.

TikTok used to give new uploaders a visibility boost (i.e., an inflated number of likes and comments) on their first couple of uploads, to get them hooked on the the service.

In Anthropic/Claude's case, the strategy is (allegedly) to give new users access to the premium models on sign-up, and then increasingly cut the product with output from cheaper models.

Of course, your suggestion (better service for users who know how to speak Proper English) would be the cherry on top of this strategy.

From what I've seen on HackerNews, Anthropic is all-in on social media manipulation and social engineering, so I suspect that your assumption holds water.

It sounds like fraud to me

If you aren't defrauding your customers you will be left behind in 2026

There's a lot of flagged posts in here!

Everyone works with bad devs, and they're addicted to AI.

This argument works until you realize that Claude Code is AGI.

A code monkey with AGI is better than 10 "excellent professionals" without AGI.

Better get used to the future, buddy.

This is a symptom of a shifting media landscape. The tech industry press and the American press generally speaking are stunningly corrupt.

This isn't true. Copilot is AGI.
