Censorship hit very hard now and services degrade.

I have been using Perplexity almost from the beginning and have had a Pro subscription for nearly 1 year, but I have noticed a slow degradation of the service months after months, which is disappointing to see.

At the very beginning of the company's existence, everything was great. The quality of the answers was good. The models used had a broad range of usage. Now, even with the Pro subscription, we are downgraded to stupid models fast. The deep research mode seems to have been reduced by a factor of 10 over the past 6 or 7 months.

But the most annoying thing for me is the lack of respect for the system prompt (personnalisation). I hate these corporate, long, bullshit answers full of woke crap moralize virtue‑signaling BS.

Since the beginning I have had a system prompt to get concise, fun answers that get straight to the point. 6 or 7 months ago they removed the part where the model would speak a bit vulgarly and make jokes to make the answers entertaining, that annoyed me a bit, but it was still tolerable.

However, since one of the latest updates to their crappy guardrails, they have tightened things so much that the prompt system is no longer respected at all. Instead of concise, fun, to‑the‑point answers, I get long, corporate useless answers. It’s horrendous.

The bigger this company gets, the more it becomes mainstream, the more crap they produce.

AND NO, WE DON'T WANT TO USE YOUR SHITTY COMPUTER MODE.
NOT PAYING $200 A MONTH FOR THIS (BAD) QUALITY OF SERVICE
STOP TRYING TO PUSH IT SO HARD.
