I think people are getting too aggressive toward OpenAI. This whole "movement" started when Astra didn't feel as good as it did at launch. Then Astra started eating through our subscriptions like crazy, but now it seems to be better. That alone shows OpenAI is tenacious enough to bring usage up for every one of us. Astra is still the best model in the world, even with Opus 5.5 out. I also want you to remember that Anthropic still has Fable at 50% of weekly usage, even though their sub is much more usable right now. This space shifts way too quickly, and people don't seem to stick with anything. One day OpenAI is doomed, the next they're on top, and people get too comfortable declaring that a certain company now sucks. There are still people out there trying to bring you the best model, the best coding app, and the best experience in the world. When I was in their private Slack, all I saw were amazing people working hard to gather our feedback and improve things for us. Then there's the whole reset issue. People get mad when they give a banked reset, and people get mad when they force a reset. Can't we just be grateful that we're getting more out of a $200 sub than we probably should? AI has always been a race: one day someone wins at one thing, and someone else loses at another. OpenAI employees are great and super available, and I don't think this hate and complaining helps anyone.
