Windsurf Free Tier users booted
I’m a paid user of Windsurf and have used it exclusively for my projects for ≈6 months now.
And Im concerned about what has happened to the free tier features.
I’ve noticed that a lot of paid users have started this bootlicking habit where they mock or act nasty towards free tier users. For the sake of virtue-signaling that we’re “actually adding value to the company” versus those who are not (at least not monetarily).
My issue with this is that any paid user with even an ounce of critical thinking should be concerned with the recent changes.
Because this is undeniably a sign that 1. Paid plans will become much more expensive (rent increase style) and 2. They will eventually deprecate certain models for the pro plan as well and move them to MAX only. Or create more pricier paid tiers after PRO.
Just some food for thought before you all proceed with your sanctimonious grandstanding. And apart from the fact that it’s illogical to take such a stance, it also makes you a pretentious asshole. Free tier users absolutely bring value to companies. Maybe do some research idk.
The problem is not that free tier users are “siphoning resources” but rather that AI is gradually becoming more expensive for even the AI companies to sell their own products. This should worry you whether you’re a paid or free user. Unless you have a money tree in your yard.
