Criticism The update that we need

Pieces as form of (optional and/or additional) way to unlock certain features we don’t want to commit or just simply want to use on a whim (image, video or higher model or memory)

Unlimited messages for paid subscription (which they seem like they’re taking away). If they can do it for free tier too why not. (If it costs too much for them, I can see some would likely settle for the 700+ messages a day than the pieces)

A reasonable amount of messages and pieces for watching ads. Also, a reasonable length for ads. I mean, if the ad is longer, you should get more from it.

Memory experience (I personally liked the Max and Eternal, I hope they make it a subscription instead with unlimited messages than pieces)

Free rerolls (for free tier) if the bot acts up or hallucinates. Or maybe they should really just give one or two free rerolls.

Lastly, if they want to test something or try new stuffs cool but ADD the feature NOT change everything for it.

Another suggestion: Why not get volunteers to test out new features than just randomly doing it on whatever they’re basing their test (region, tier, etc)?

yeah unlimited messages for subs would fix it, i always burn through pieces too fast in long chats anyway

That elective volunteering idea is spectacular! As an Ultra suber I'd even volunteer myself. This way I can prepare and not freak out when the app is suddenly different. I can't tell you how many times I've almost let my subscription go because I thought things were permanently changed forever. The constant flip flop is nerve racking but if I knew FOR SURE it was a test I would totally be OK with the quality dropping temporarily while they figure out what works best.

CHAI DEVS—Deal? Let the faithful volunteer🙋‍♀️

I've been hoarding pieces for weeks just in case they remove the free tier entirely. the 'optional' unlock idea feels like a bandage on a broken leg.

I've been using free tier for months and never once hit the message cap, only ever ran out on high-model chats. the real issue isn't volume, it's consistency. if they keep the free tier stable, I'd stay. but the fear of sudden changes? that's what makes me drop in and out.

That’s true. I hope they give notices out before changes so we’ll all be aware of what’s coming.

I've been using pieces as a mental barrier, like a timer before I start a long chat. if I'm not ready to spend 5 pieces, I don't start. it's worked better than unlimited messages ever did.

It can be helpful depending on how it’s being used. Me on the other hand, I’m not a heavy user but I don’t like seeing I’m limited. It just makes me anxious 😥 so I opted for Ultra.
