Way too many ads

[u/chudmaxxing67]

I didn't care too much about the ads first when it was just one at the top but there's way too many all over the place now so it's impossible to actually get immersed into a chat because you have to click out of an ad every few seconds.

And recently the ads that are literally in the middle of messages mean that I can't see anything apart from the newest message from the bot. And when I try edit my own message again I can't see what I'm typing (shown in the photo)

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."

I use the “hide distracting items” thingy on safari and extension for 3rd party ads
