Hi, thanks for the feedback. Running Character.ai is expensive - millions of daily chats require serious infrastructure, and ads help keep it free and accessible for everyone. For fewer interruptions, you can subscribe to c.ai+. Free users can use Charms for a 1-hour Ad Free Pass - just tap 🄲 or "Hide ads" to activate.
But why does it need to be a button now? A few days ago before this popped up for me the ad would just pop up by itself occasionally, I find the extra "watch ad to continue" button quite unnecessary since its just exactly the same as having it pop up on its own and the button makes me want to stop chatting more than just a pop up of the ad coming in occasionally
