AI YouTuber Matthew Berman (596K subscribers) published a lengthy, sharply critical video about Anthropic's handling of Claude Code — highlighting opaque quota systems, confusing policy restrictions, abrupt Friday policy emails, and experiments restricting Claude Code from free/pro tiers. The criticism is notable because Berman rarely criticizes AI companies publicly, and the video has amplified broader user frustration following weeks of acknowledged Claude Code performance decline that Anthropic initially dismissed.
