Yeah, seriously. I've decided not to try Fable at all, because if it is good, I don't want to get hooked, and then feel tempted to spend extra money for it when Anthropic pulls it from subscription plan access.
I'm lucky that $2k isn't a lot of money for me, though I'd much rather spend it on basically anything other than LLM credits.
As another poster noted, imagine if that money went to open source, on the regular... As an open source maintainer myself, that line of thought makes me sad.
But hey, I know I probably spend money on stuff other people would think is stupid, so I shouldn't criticize.
