Googles AI stuff and tiers are probably the most confusing ever because it feels like they rename it all the time. If you subscribe by the time you pay, it has a different name again and the documentation and blogs are all over the place they basically now call everything Google One. It's like all the appliance manufacturers where every store has a different id for the same machine.

In theory they are standardizing on Antigravity now, for all of the agentic/dev stuff.

The other problem is the pricing includes a bunch of other Google crap I have zero interest in. They're doing the same mistake Microsoft is doing. People like me want only the coding subscription, not everything else that's shoved into it. When I buy into Claude, I am into it for Claude Code, if I cared to give Scam Altman any money it would be for Codex.

name calling detracts from your credibility instead of supporting your point

That's by design. It's like asking cable companies to only have this or that channel, or netflix to let you pay just for standup comedy specials. The bundle is the bundle, the hits subsidize the misses.

Oof, why would you sign up for only the standup comedy specials? 90% of them are garbage. These people are not funny.

That 10% might be worth $1 or $2 per month.

Did you expect comedy specials to be an exception to this?
