Made the mistake of paying upfront for a full 12 months earlier this year for another subscription.

Unfortunately, they reserve the right to change the terms after the fact.

What bothers me about these cuts is the assumption that because the models are supposedly getting better and cheaper, less usage is somehow equivalent value. That may be true from their perspective, but they don't get to decide how much utility those extra capabilities have for every user.

It also leads to the AI version of "you’re holding it wrong" (i.e. you’re prompting it wrong/use a cheaper model/skill issue).

And I can't help wondering how much of this is also about shifting capacity toward the latest persistent-agent offering they're pushing. If that's the case, existing subscribers are effectively being asked to give up quota for a product direction they may not even care about.

Been a customer since GPT 5.3 Codex. This is the first time that I'm thinking of dropping the sub.

This question has been bothering me for a very long time now, does a food delivery platform really require the 20-30% fee to operate? If so, what justifies it? Or is it because of the spike in demand due to the pandemic so they can get away with it?

From a business standpoint, I think it's only stupid for Google not to revisit such a huge market, then I wonder if they really have other choices that make business sense?

Depending on how you look at it, I don't think Uber (as of now) is selling shovels, I look at Uber as the middleman between the riders and the drivers, their job primarily in optimally satisfying the ride-hailing market demand.
