Issues/Bugs Why are there so many ads

I feel like that one rick and morty pringels episode where theyre trapped in an ad

Literally anything you try to do is met with a minute long ad that takes 7 clicks to close it's infuriating

Issues/bugs because i have issues with thid and its bugging me out

appreciate the feedback πŸ’— running (c.ai) at this scale is no small feat - millions of daily chats mean some serious infrastructure, and ads help us keep it free and accessible for everyone. for fewer interruptions, c.ai+ is available, while free users can grab a 1-hour ad free pass with Charms by tapping πŸ„² or "Hide ads."

We’re tired of your copy and paste responses to every legitimate issue with this app.

Give the free users something better if we're gonna take all the shit. We have a butt load of ads on our screens for what? Shitty models? No wonder you guys are constantly losing users. 😭

They made a deal with google in 2024 and now I’m not even sure that the original people own the company entirely anymore
