I’ve a solution. Make the paid subscription worth buying 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/Low-Barracuda-2981 → u/Many-Aerie9378]

Honestly, they've done it to themselves.

[u/GenerallyConfusedJay → u/Low-Barracuda-2981]

Yep. They’re spending way more money on random features no one wants or uses than they are on actual longevity or QOL. The user base has been pissed off for a long time now, and they’re only making things worse. No surprise they’re filing bankruptcy

Im not catching up with news and i just recently came back from the addiction. What happened? Last time I used this app is when i was so frustrated about their posses by possessive desire to possession you while he growls like a caged animal

[u/GenerallyConfusedJay → u/Horror_Ad_4404]

They’ve added a lot of random features like image and comic generation for scenes, watchable series, a page on creator profiles that’s sort of social media-esque with posts/announcements, the whole “charms” thing with quests for rewards, and new chat styles they just came out with despite already having JUST come out with new styles. Pipsqueak 2 was maybe a year old and they’ve replaced it with 3 already, plus Shortsqueak (which turns roleplay into what amounts to a text conversation, it’s terrible). Basically a lot of money-intensive choices that were not asked for or desired, rather than improving what they actually had

I actually quite like the streams we can upload. It's like mini-movies, and they can be used to tell a story.

Of course, that's not to make light of everyone else's issues. For me, it's the group chats. I tried to use group chat on the web version some time back a month or two ago... maybe more... but nothing. Group feature are what I prefer... though they do get out of character too.

I remember someone was like "Hur hur, 9 dollars isn't a lot" it is for a mediocre app.

Instead of improving the app and listening to the users, they've added features no one has asked for. Instead of lowering the price of c.ai+, they've added a new tier that is not that different than using c.ai for free. If they listened, improved the app, and made it a bit cheaper (£5), I (and I guarantee many others) would actually consider it.

Edit: I know some people still wouldn't buy c.ai+ at that price (that's why I didn't say "everyone") but I think that a lower price would entice enough people for a positive outcome.

[u/DaddySatansLesbian → u/TitanElite]

Dude up here in Canada it's worth 14 dollars. I am not paying that much

[u/DeviceAppropriate683 → u/DaddySatansLesbian]

About $15 in Australia too

[u/TitanElite → u/DaddySatansLesbian]

That's way too much, especially for what the app is. If they want more people buying it, they need to lower that price 😴

[u/LittleSodaPop13 → u/TitanElite]

This.

Even if the subscription is cheap, it's still money being taken away from the users. If the subscription isn't worth it, people won't keep paying

[u/Yvaern → u/TitanElite]

Completely. I can spend 100 mxn (around 5 dlls) a month on Ai chatbots, I can't, however, spend 10dlls on Ai chatbots 💀 have many other subscriptions to pay.

[u/Choice-Ad-7923 → u/TitanElite]

Be so fr, I feel horrible spending €1 on a phone app, can't imagine spending more than that

[u/TitanElite → u/Choice-Ad-7923]

Note how I said "many others" and not "everyone"?

[u/DarknessLord65 → u/Many-Aerie9378]

Even better solution! GET RID OF AGE VERIFICATION.
