Boilerplate
60-word version
gotnerfed.com is the public open-source watchdog cataloging every silent change AI vendors make to their pricing, rate limits, free tiers, and model quality. Every receipt is sourced (vendor changelog, Wayback Machine, or vendor statement), scored 0–100 on a public rubric, and graded by a 3-LLM AI Jury whose verdicts are published side-by-side. MIT-licensed. Independent. No vendor money.
Logos

Story angles
If you’re looking for a hook, here are some angles the data supports:
- Every major AI lab silently nerfs paid users. Cursor (6× in 24mo), Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub Copilot — all documented.
- "Free tier upgrade" announcements predict 78% of free-tier reductions within 60 days. Pattern documented across the dataset.
- New enterprise tiers reliably squeeze the tier below within 90 days. Cursor Ultra → Pro fast requests drop 400 to 250 six weeks later.
- AI inference is still heavily subsidized. Every silent nerf is a step toward the price the market actually pays.
