After a month bashing Anthropic, critic flips positive and calls himself its 'most valuable customer'

Netizen ryunuck explains why he spent a month relentlessly criticizing Anthropic only to flip positive at the last minute: he calls it a deliberate strategy — predictions only count when made from outside the walls, so he banked his takes publicly first ("you can't deploy a trebuchet from within"). He says he just bought a 20X license, gaining the rare vantage of Anthropic's "most critical, most in-control" customer, and crowns himself its most valuable customer. Largely self-styled AI drama, but it captures shifting user sentiment around Anthropic's pricing and discourse.
