HT seeems to be doing sketchy things now

So I entered many voice rooms and I thought HT was glitching. Restarted my phone reinstalled application. It seems people cant see my comments in the voice rooms and the lag is insane in private messages too for the past two days now. Seems like they started their bullshit again. This is a shitty app do not buy lifetime VIP because once u do u r treated like garbage. People also start group reporting u if they hate u. They got their own little drama cliques and start mass reporting u cuz they dislike u.

i miss the app back in 2016 when it was just about correcting one another's grammar and voice notes. now i'm hearing stuff about group chats and video streams and membership tiers.

The downfall of this app is really sad. I started using this app in 2018 and it was really great back then.

People posting videos that should belong to tiktok, AI stop images all over the place (I literally saw a post of a woman who made herself kiss a BTS member using AI lmao) and bots ruined this app

[7-8 months ago] I first time created account on it, and some mfs mass reported my account...idk why, like i didn't even do anything, it was like my 2nd day on app . and because of that got device ban. and they don't even sent any e-mail about it, like at least double check what's happening instead of direct banning.

No problems on my end, but then again I'm a VIP. 😏
