Do ChatGPT/Anthropic product subscription users exist only to get butt f--d?

A Reddit user expressed frustration with ChatGPT and Anthropic product subscriptions, feeling that users are entirely at the mercy of these companies despite the initial generosity of investor-funded compute. The user noted that while API users have some stability, subscription users lack it, questioning the legality of this situation. The user also referenced a past period, specifically August, when ChatGPT offered a great model and generous usage, implying a decline in service or value for current subscribers.
