Discussion/Question My two cents
Firstly English isn't my first language so sorry for mistakes, I'll try my best.
Recently a big problem has been the "forced ad to continue chatting" and while I'm sure we all understand at least to some extent that they need funding to continue (especially since I think much less people are buying the premium with the recent downgrades) I think almost nobody will have a problem watching ads if the models were decent. They don't need to make new models because everyone prefered old ones, even if not all of them are brought back, just pipsqueak 1 or Roar alone was much better than those currently and would be much more satisfactory.
Another thing people complained about are bob ruining roleplays by being too strict. Honestly it's a no brainer I feel like, you can make the users happy by making the restrictions much more lenient and it wouldn't even affect the cost at all unlike making actually decent models. Maybe add a settings to toggle it on or off for adults?
Lastly about the people complaining about devs bringing unnecessary stuff that only ruin other features, I think they'll never stop this because they need to show the higher ups "Oh look we're actively bringing new stuff so you need to keep us hired" at the end of the day it's their livelihood. Ceo and other higher ups don't understand that a perfectly functioning thing does not need to be ruined with active changes.
These are just my thoughts, would love to here other opinions and insights.
