I give them $200/month for Max. They give me a massive amount of tokens in return. Every time I fire up claude code they lose money.
It's the same situation as Uber used to be when it lost money on every ride. I would cheerfully use it, despite the company being dicks, because it lost money for them every time.
Seemed to've worked out pretty well for Uber
It's a valid business strategy. Also worked wonders for Amazon and many other giants. Which is exactly why I am withdrawing my business from Anthropic.
