Even a 10 year old who prompts codex everyday for the last 3 months will figure out they nerf their previous models once new ones drop.

5.4 ex-high was nerfed to 5.3 or below ones when they launched 5.5.

Some 20 days since 5.5, they started nerfing 5.5 medium to how 5.4 high used to perform.

5.5 medium worked really well and was way ahead of original 5.4 for those first 20 days.

Now anything outside of 5.5 extra high performs on the same level 5.4 high - extra high, with some highs and lows here and there.

They just want us to burn more tokens so everyone goes to pro or enterprise from plus mode, which majority are on.

And maybe top in more credits every other week.

They think we are dumb kids that can't tell the difference with their hierarchical releases.

Atleast claude keeps it simple and lets you one thing at a time without screwing up with our time and money.

I might make an insane amount of money with some biz stuff I'm doing.

It should potentially bring in 7 figures within a year.

I'd like to sponsor few of you, say 1 or 2 thousand a month every month for a few years.

Neetbux or whatever you guys call it.

comment down your story briefly, best 5 i like i'll text.

will send it via paypal or stripe and setup auto-debit every month to your accounts.

don't ask me why i'm doing it, idk idc about this stupid shit life anyways

fuck everything, free will or whatever those philosophers said

Neurotypicals and their stupid system leeching off each other will go down is all I care about

Should be nice to have them realize what profound helplessness from the system and environment can look like

Yeah I'd be broke and homeless too idc

I got into SaaS as a indie dev back in November.

I saw some other indie dev build basic niche apps, do some distribution, racking decent money every month.

I did the same and launched few apps, first few were basic b2b one person saas we see here everyday - failed as usual.

Built a few complex projects too, but quickly realized how less of a MOAT software complexity actually was in 2026.

Kids are building end to end production grade saas with codex 5.5 extra high from their command line. And people on the buyer's end have started realizing this too.

I know, we could still go on about our efforts, take our share in pie from people who still are in the dark and purchase and use saas the usual way.

But this situation is evolving way too fast to prioritize stability, everything I built back in november could be one-shotted with 96 percent accuracy on claude code 200 dollar plan, and these things are only getting better.

I have no idea what else to do, i have no other skills. but i give up, i hope you guys make it but i'm out.

good luck guys, i hope y'all make it.

Niche : Jewellery + collectibles

Suppliers : Chinese private vendors

Total revenue : $180

Total profit: $90 ($50 product costs + rest logistics)

Traffic: My Pinterest page (included with the store)

Metrics: 1m monthly impressions, 2000 outbound clicks, 6 sales in first 30 days.

Haven't ran ads yet, niche is competitive.

Asking price (store + Pinterest page) = $2000

Reason for selling : I have other projects to handle, logistics seems like a full-time thing, not enough time or experience.

Girl is the perfect neurotypical female archetype - outgoing, enthusiastic, cheerful, loves doing things, loves following orders all that.

Had a job lined up after graduation, got into an accident, 6 months bed rest, AI hype takes up lot of job opps - no interviews in 6 months - decides not to try anything for 3 months.

does nothing for 3 months - stays inside, doomscroll, eat, sleep.

By month 3, she started showing depressive symptoms, and began acting completely out of touch - like some prisoner who hasn't seen sunlight in years, very weird and creepy.

Folks took her to a psych, said she's been hallucination or something, admitted for two weeks.

Not diagnosed with anything, but yeah she kind of lost it 3 months into the NEET thing.

Here's me getting into my 6th NEET year sipping a cold beer to celebrate, meanwhile the average neurotypical couldn't handle 3 months of it.

No comparison or flexing, just genuinely astounding the levels of brain difference is us and them. poor girl, i visited her this morning hope she gets well.

Title

I've only had bad days while on Concerta taking coffee.

I used to take it on and off so never really noticed the effect.

So for few days I stopped caffeine all together.

My sleep quality improved 2x, I could sleep earlier. I thought concerta was causing me to stay up all night. Slept like a baby at 9pm, same pill at same time just no coffee throughout the day.

I don't feel irritated - just calm and composed and smooth energy.

So I've decided to stop caffeine all together.

I'm a long-time member of this sub, I can tell when someone's a NEET because they genuine wanted to be a NEET.

Unfortunately, most posts I see here past few years are just people who found solace in NEET life after something bad or traumatic happened in their life.

Much of their posts feels like projecting their guilt or regret, common element in all these posts are that they want to get out of this lifestyle, though they don't mention it explicitly in the post.

It's like learned helplessness with some form of denial.

I hate to break it these people - you guys would genuinely do well if you spent 3 months with a qualified therapist in appropriate form of therapy.

I don't wanna go deep into this, you guys are adults you can do your own research.

Please don't take this as an insult or sympathy advice, i'm just genuinely trying to help because some of your posts are obvious reflection of seeking help indirectly.
