OpenAI is a masterclass in pissing off paying customers.
I'm just about ready to cancel my ChatGPT subscription and move fully over to Claude because OpenAI has spit in my face one too many times.
I'm tired of announcements of things being available only to find out "No, they aren't" or "It's rolling out slowly" where "slowly" can mean days, weeks, or month (no exaggeration).
I'm tired of shit like this:
Sign ups are temporarily unavailable
We’re currently experiencing heavy traffic and have temporarily disabled sign ups. We’re working to
get them back up shortly so check back soon.
Sign up? I'm already signed up, I've had a paid account for a year now or so.> We’re releasing it today as a standalone product at Sora.com to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users.
No you aren't, you might be rolling it out (see above for what that means) but it's not released, I'm a ChatGPT Plus user and I can't use it.
I really don't think it's reasonable to expect them to onboard what is likely tens of thousands of sign ups in the first hour.
