Exactly, I've seen people who bought a Mac Mini and ended up running claw against a claude subscription. Completely misunderstand the point of local models. Plus, there was more hype about running claw way cheaper on Raspberry Pi which cost the stock price of Raspberry maker to skyrocket.

Some of the comments here show that technical people set these things up for non-technical people, which is just one step away from a misstep. Time will show whether this is similar in behavior to the "I can run it" mindset that people had with local models before. A small dopamine hit to see "it can be done" in order to end up a cloud service in the long run.
