The huge positive publicity boost that Claude Code gained during its unlimited phase was surely easily worth the slight negative publicity it is getting now. This post is just marketing copy by a small competitior that can't afford to do the same thing.

> gained during its unlimited phase

It was never unlimited.

They never advertised unlimited usage. The Max plan clearly said it had higher limits.

This fabrication of a backstory is so weird. Why do so many people believe this?

Fair enough, substitute "unlimited" for "extremely high limits that most people very rarely hit"

The sad thing is that you are probably right.
