rather_pass_by's journey

I just canceled all my AI subscriptions, including Claude AI. I've been frustrated with the daily throttling of the rate limits, which now forces me to wait half an hour for tasks that I could complete in five minutes on my own. It's not just about the cost; it's about the lack of transparency. They say the prices aren't going up, but they're definitely lowering the usage limits. I get that inference can be costly, but they should be upfront about it. After canceling, I felt a sense of relief. It hit me that by paying for these AI models, I was essentially funding the very system that contributed to my layoff. It feels like we're supporting a structure that makes it harder for regular people to sustain themselves, while only a few get incredibly wealthy. If you're not among those elite, I strongly advise against buying AI subscriptions. Instead of trying to vibe code or start a tech company, which likely won't yield better results than an entry-level developer, I think we should focus on exploring opportunities outside of software. Just don't fund the tools that have made life more difficult for us. It's like contributing to a system that perpetuates our struggles. If you're set on starting something, consider ventures that don't revolve around software.
