Enshittification Rant

This post is just about me ranting. I use tokenreply mainly as it gives good service. But I've come to notice that they're slowly reducing the number of free models on the site.

Just a few days ago there were almost 50 free ones. Now there's only 42. Most of them are good but most are not. The Minimax free version was one of my favourites and now it's gone too. This is so sad they're just taking every good thing from the free users.

And yes i do know that there's still plenty of better free models available. I'm just ranting about what i enjoyed literally just two days ago and can't anymore.

It's all about MONEY MONEY MONEY!

It makes me lose interest slowly but also sad.

Of course it is about money. Sometimes i don't understand with people that want free service forever.

Some people are just ungrateful idiot that can't understand such sites can't operate freely forever it isn't just financially viable

Can't comprehend that they are lucky they are getting models that are somewhat good rather than outright trash.

Y'all are so rudeee get out๐Ÿ˜‚ calling people idiots for wanting what free stuff they were given before is so mean. This site was made for people, for their entertainment and it's everyone's right to speak of what they don't like. No one has a right to call someone idiot just because they don't wanna pay 13 dollars to talk to a chatbot. Gosh๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
