I mean, if you look at the Claude subreddits, the general consensus is that Anthropic and OpenAI are money hungry corporate devils that are here to enslave all of us, and everyone should get unlimited everything on Max x20.

I think you may be overestimating the willingness of people to understand Anthropic’s concerns.

Reddit is a very small subsection of the Internet consisting mainly of basement-dweller radical leftist they/thems. We should not be taking them as a representative sample of the average Anthropic user.

Ironic that you are talking about unrepresentative samples while characterizing Reddit users that way. Reddit is a huge subsection of the internet, over a billion monthly active users. It covers basically all strata of western society you can think of.

They seem to count unregistered users in the D/W/MAU, but even so the producer / consumer of content ratio across social media still stands. What you read is a subsection of all visitors to Reddit, which follows the power law.

Are you counting the fakes and the bots?

Moreover, as sibling pointed out, content creator != visitor.

If Reddit was a representative sample of reality, all governments in the West would have been ran by gay race Communists.

I have to ask - are you a bot? You seem to be making some very strong and misinformed statements here. You can fixate on the number if you like, but calling Reddit homogeneously radical left or 'very small', is pretty stupid.

Thinking that Reddit has any resemblance to reality is what is stupid.
