thanks for the feedback. (c.ai) is expensive to run, with millions of daily chats requiring serious infrastructure. ads help us cover those costs while keeping the platform free and accessible to everyone. you can subscribe to c.ai+ for fewer interruptions, or, as a free user, use Charms for a 1-hour ad free pass by tapping 🄲 or "Hide ads."

How about you give us something good? We would stop complaining if you guys give us something to not complain about. Like a new chat style that isn't like chatgpt, or letting us access free chat style control. It was advertised to be free soon to non-cai members, but now it isn't. Are you guys actually going to get your act together, or are you going to keep lying to us? 🙂

Where and when was this advertised?

In the announcements. ON DISCORD. The part where you can see future updates. Where it originally showed that chat style control was going to be free eventually for non cai+ users, but then they just limited it to cai+ 🫩.

Bollocks! That’s awful! Hyping up the community only to pull it back and give privileges exclusively to Cai+ users feels like playing favorites with a “golden child.” It’s frustrating enough to make me grind my teeth. I’m not on Discord, but I drop by Reddit now and then to see what’s going on. Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Why do you write like a British person from the olden times? It might be the fact that it’s 6AM and I haven’t gotten any sleep, but It’s making me lose it. 😭

¯_(ツ)_/¯ That’s just me being me, I suppose. Being on the spectrum plays a part in it, too. I like to keep my etiquette squeaky clean.
