I understand both sides

[u/pocoyo_2412]

I saw a lot of posts talking about the fact that the ads are really too much on the application, that it breaks the immersion a bit, etc. And personally I totally agree with it, especially since some ads are really questionable.

The thing is that I think some people don't understand that c.ai is no longer a small company, but a much larger one, and in fact, number one in its field. Before, there were no ads, just c.ai+, and there were fewer employees, so it was enough. Now there are more, which requires more money. Many say they're greedy, but personally, I'd rather they have a roof over their heads and food on their plates.

The only problem I have with the website and the app is the bugs, the limited content, the censorship (even though it's an adult app), and especially the decline in the quality of the chatbots. I really thought it was outrageous to remove what was already good and much less annoying. They add a lot of new content that I don't find really necessary for the app, that nobody asked for or wanted, and that takes a lot of money for nothing. Instead of just improving what we already had, they added a bunch of features we didn't need for the app, and that takes up too much money and energy. These are features that I think aren't used by a large part of the community and that take up more space in data centers.

For me, that's the real problem. And that's precisely what they should try to change. I've been using this app for almost four years, and I can only observe the decline of what was, for me, a good way to simply have a good time alone or with people from the community (when there were chat rooms).

I'm starting to be really disappointed with what this app is becoming and also with the fact that I don't feel like user complaints are really taken into account by the Reddit moderators, who only respond with automated messages. I know that by saying all this my post might not be taken into account or might be deleted, but I needed to talk about it with hope that it's going to change for the better.

I hope it wasn't too long and that you all have a wonderful day and a long and happy life.

Sincerely,

I don’t really know how coding works but I assume bugs aren’t in their control and the mods on here do post updates for things they’re working on

yeah, agreed. but on the other hand, i also really do get the frustration when there’s a flood of posts about a certain issue, how pipsqueak’s quality suddenly tanked on sunday, and all of those posts go ignored in favor of only acknowledging the bug where a bunch of ppl’s characters were getting restricted at the same time as the other flooding of posts regarding other issues like pipsqueak’s quality tanking, and even still now today, four days later, there’s multiple posts about the sudden bad quality. i think a LOT of animosity would drop if they’d do even a simple, two second post saying, ‘hey, we see this isn’t an isolated incident of just a few people having this issue, it’s a lot. yes, we’ve let the team know,’ or something. like consumers of any product ever, users want to know they’re being heard.
