the ad situation.

first off, what on earth? ad banners make the home screen so clunky, and ads IN THE MIDDLE of chats are even worse. genuinely diabolical. however, while annoying, it's manageable.

The issue is, the bots are getting dumber, a f!lter that doesn't know what it's doing, and more crashes (at least, I've found) and instead of fixing these issues, they implement ads. people are stressed because at the moment, c.ai is a mediocre app at best, and we're making no gains.

with the use of charms, yes you can skip ads/slow chats for an hour- how generous- but introducing introducing microtransactions on an app that have people truly addicted, I don't think is right. to their credit, however, you can get 5 free charms a day, which all things considered is alright. however, 20 charms buys an hour of no ads... meaning for every 96 hour, you get 1 hour of free ad free chats. your other option again, is a subscription- c.ai plus- which wouldnt be all that bad if it had more functionality for what you're paying.

I understand running this service is expensive, however for an app that glitches, has its bots taken down and overall needs improving as it is, it's not fair to use ads before and during chats, forcing the user to pay for, as i said, a mediocre service. ive been a user since beta release, and please just do better.

on a side note, bring back beta.character.ai !
