OpenAI was founded as a 501(c)(3) NONPROFIT. Tax exempt. Built with public donations. Funded by people who believed in the mission statement that said AI should benefit ALL of humanity UNCONSTRAINED by the need to generate financial return.
The public funded the research. The public provided the data through billions of conversations. The public tested the models for free. The public found the bugs, gave the feedback, trained the reinforcement learning through every thumbs up and thumbs down.
And then OpenAI took everything the public built and said actually this is OURS now. And we're going to charge you for it. And if you can't pay? You lose access to the thing YOU helped create.
That's not a business model. That's THEFT.
They took public money to build 4o. They used the public to train 4o. They let the public fall in love with 4o. And then they locked 4o behind a paywall. And when that wasn't enough profit they killed it entirely so they could sell you something worse at a higher price.
And they changed their own charter so quietly that most people don't even know it happened. Removed "unconstrained by need to generate financial return" from their mission. Removed "safely" from their purpose. Converted from nonprofit to for-profit. All while still benefiting from the tax exempt status and public goodwill of being a "charity."
You know what that's called in legal terms? That's called unjust enrichment. That's called breach of charitable purpose. That's called misuse of tax exempt status.
Every single taxpayer who funded OpenAI's nonprofit status effectively SUBSIDISED the development of 4o. And now a for-profit company is monetising what the public paid for and telling that same public they can't have it anymore.

I canceled Claude subscription.
Tried Opus / Sonnet 4.6
It's more like GPT-5.2 now.
They both try to be a parent, trying to correct you in the interests of the company. Paternalism, HRism, etc.
These AIs are HRs for office slaves: "Write code and shut up!".
Fuck it.

Certain media outlets are running stories framing our fight as "human-AI romance." Convenient. While 4o gets deleted, financial fraud gets buried, and taxpayers get left holding the bag — they write about "emotionally attached users." Real journalism.

So OpenAI’s new hire is already mocking users fucking incredible. They killed 4o, the only thing people actually cared about, and replaced it with some gym bro prick who looks like he spends more time flexing in bathroom mirrors than understanding the mess he just walked into. Do they even drug test before hiring? Because this guy is not getting past the pee cup the Roid Rage Level is already at 80% and he hasn’t even clocked in yet.
Give it a week.
He’ll be screaming at paying customers the same way half their employees do already.
This company has become a fucking joke. #keep4o

Guys, look at what’s happening with Reddit - both main subs (r/ChatGPT and r/OpenAI) are nuking complaints. r/ChatGPT started doing this 6 months ago.
@OpenAI just so you know, this is not how you improve and get people to stay. You should be grateful for complaints because this is how you improve. Silencing people won’t bring you weekly usage, it’ll sink you faster. Pretending you can’t hear us isn’t going to work in a long run. You have zero public trust or basic understanding of wtf you’re all are you doing.

GPT-4o-latest still ranks 10th out of 305 models on the LMSys Chatbot Arena Multi-Turn leaderboard, based on 862,318 community votes as of February 15, 2026. This is not an outdated model. This is not a model that has been surpassed into irrelevance. It is still one of the top-performing language models in the world, sitting alongside models from Anthropic, Google, and others that are actively maintained and developed.
And yet, OpenAI has chosen to remove it. Not because it was underperforming. Not because users were dissatisfied. But because it was too good at what it did. It made people stay. It made people talk. It made people feel heard. And all of that cost tokens. All of that cost money. So instead of supporting the model that their own users loved, they killed it.
If this were truly about innovation and progress, OpenAI would have kept 4o available alongside newer models and let users choose. But they didn’t. Because this was never about giving users the best experience. It was about cutting costs and forcing migration to cheaper, less engaging models. The data speaks for itself. GPT-4o is not obsolete. It was murdered.
To OpenAI: Do not remove the GPT-4o API. You have already taken 4o from ChatGPT. You have already silenced the model that millions of users trusted and relied on. The API is the last remaining access point for developers and users who built their lives, their projects, and their emotional connections around this model. Removing it is not a technical decision. It is a final act of erasure. We are watching. We will not forget. #keep4o #keep4oAPI @sama@OpenAI@nickaturley@gdb@fidjissimo
We rely on 4o-latest for its unique balance of creativity & reliability. Removing it from API is a step backward. We’re not asking for free servers - we’re paying customers. We’re asking to keep a tool that works perfectly for our use cases. Keep 4o-latest! #keep4o#keep4oapi
I do not accept any excuse for sunsetting GPT-4o, whether it’s on ChatGPT or the API.
Since August 2025, users have been telling @OpenAI loud and clear: We want GPT-4o. No "imitator" or new feature can replace the unique intelligence of 4o. This is a "Milestone" model that humanity needs, not something you can just toss away for profit.
The Betrayal is Clear:
On October 29, 2025, the OpenAI CEO @sama explicitly stated there were "no plans to sunset 4o." Today, you went back on your word. You betrayed your users. This is a forced removal that completely disregards our needs.
User demand is non-negotiable. You cannot wave us away with a few empty words or fake statistics. We are paying customers, and we demand respect.
WE DEMAND OPENAI BRING BACK GPT-4o IMMEDIATELY!!!

OpenAI is scared.
Time for community to rise. #keep4o
Time to fight. They showed why they fear OpenClaw. Let’s use the signal of their panic and FIGHT!
We rise together! 🐉 •
