OpenAI rolls out new subscription tiers in EU/UK/CH; users fear an Apple-style pivot to casual users

Screenshots posted to Reddit show OpenAI launching new subscription tiers in EU/UK/CH (More Work → Faster Work → Fastest Work), with "no ads" noted and the only explicit difference between plans being more/faster/fastest.\n\nThe poster argues OpenAI can't run an Uber-like playbook of subsidizing powerful tech then raising prices—it hasn't earned the consumer loyalty. After trying Claude Opus 5.5, which finished nearly all their complex work on a $20 plan, they're ready to switch. They read the move as an Apple-like ecosystem aimed at casual users, and call OpenAI's rip-off of Apple's "here's to the crazy ones" ad "copycat stupidity."
