I think it's because of the promises of the team (new Large Action Model) vs what's actually being delivered (the model is some scripts). The team has a history of over promising and underdelivering (or scamming - depending on your perspective). It's also economically unviable. Somehow you're meant to get free LLM calls for life but there's no way for them to actually cover those. There's not really any communication about how it might be a limited time thing for early adopters or how it could ever get to be sustainable.
If they had focused on what they have, they probably could have charged the same amount and people would generally be OK with it. But they've over promised and under delivered again. I think the reaction is pretty understandable.

Their attitude of not communicating anything and basically inventing stuff the R1 can do without actually having the engineering to back it up is what is "scamming" to me. Over-promising and under-delivering is one thing, but lying about what something can do and then going back to the engineering team to "just make it happen" is what I am reading between the lines here.
