> Engaging so directly with a highly critical audience is a minefield that you're navigating well.
They spent two months literally gaslighting this "critical audience" that this could not be happening and literally blaming users for using their vibe-coded slop exactly as advertised.
All the while all the official channels refused to acknowledge any problems.
Now the dissatisfaction and subscription cancellations have reached a point where they finally had to do something.
Examples of gaslighting on April 15th (the first 2 issues were "fixed" by April 10th according to the story):

No mention of anything like "hey, we just fixed two big issues, one that lasted over a month." Just casual replies to everybody like nothing is wrong and "oh there's an issue? just let us know we had no idea!"
Don't forget "our investigation concluded you are to blame for using the product exactly as advertised" https://x.com/lydiahallie/status/2039800718371307603 including gems like "Sonnet 4.6 is the better default on Pro. Opus burns roughly twice as fast. Switch at session start"
