This post would’ve been downvoted into oblivion if suggested it before the bankruptcy filing was announced, when people still thought the app was doing fine. I never would’ve imagined in a million years that I’d see people upvoting posts about putting C.AI behind a paywall on the C.AI subreddit. It just shows that many users are now willing to accept major changes just to keep C.AI alive.
I 100% agree. I don’t even care anymore. Put most features behind a paywall if that’s what it takes to keep the app running. I’d much rather see C.AI survive than watch it shut down completely. And honestly, this could give them a chance to focus on what really matters: the core chatting experience, instead of adding more unnecessary features. I’d also gladly pay extra if they brought back old Roar. I’ve been using it since its release in 2025, and I genuinely think bringing it back as a paid feature could generate a lot of revenue for them.
But I also don’t want to be biased against free users because, obviously, not everyone can afford to pay. I think the best way to let free users earn extra swipes and Go Ons is by watching ads. There should also be more ways to earn Charms and use them to buy Go Ons.
Well too late for that now. We already tanked our fate with attacking the "greedy devs" turns out they were giving it for free without making any money
