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.
gotnerfed.com is the open-source watchdog cataloging every silent change AI vendors make to pricing, rate limits, and model quality.
Every major AI lab silently nerfs paid users
Cursor, Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub Copilot, DeepSeek and more - each documented with sourced receipts and AI Jury verdicts. The pattern is industry-wide, not vendor-specific.
Most nerfs ship with no changelog entry
The majority of receipts in the archive document a change the vendor never announced - caught by diffing the page, not reading a release note. The silence is the story.
New top tiers tend to squeeze the tier below
When a vendor ships a pricier ceiling, the plan beneath it often gets quietly re-capped soon after. The new ceiling redefines what the old one was.
AI inference is still heavily subsidized
Every silent nerf is a step toward the price the market actually pays. The honeymoon ends in measurable monthly increments.
Solo operator, US-based, independent. Built gotnerfed after getting silently downgraded by three different AI vendors in 60 days. Available for interviews - schedule via press@gotnerfed.com.
