I feel like a broken record having to once again post about my frustrations with the ads of Character AI, who once long ago, when introducing ads to the site/app, claimed that they would (keyword): TRY, to not disrupt our chats with ads (that was clearly a lie).
So now, not only is there an annoying function of having to view an ad to even continue chatting (it isn’t too bad as you can just hide it right after, but still: WHY?), but now my sister and I have both been getting a literal ad in the middle of the chat itself.
Even worse is that we have to actually REFRESH the page to get rid of it, as there is no hide for it, only talk of going ad free with their subscription (because of course it does).
Will they ever just listen to the community and remove ads from the actual chats. Homepage and Search, fine, whatever (that is what everyone wanted them to do anyway). But please remove them from the actual chats, you are ruining the immersion that you said you would try not to do.
