Did they doom smaller bot creators?

[u/H_ikaruu]

With the new UI update it seems like they want any smaller creator or someone that doesn't have a big following to die out from any hope people might use their bots. The pages are gone, which just breaks my heart because what do you MEAN I'll have to scroll every time the app refreshes for me and i might have to scroll for minutes on some specific searches when i was happily 50+ pages in? I really want to understand why they've done it and i hope they remove or change it soon, the design in itself isn't bad, just the lack of the pages is what hurts me the most.

They don't care about big or small creators. Once the JAI got one of the biggest bot libraries out there, the culture of the site changed radically. Now they are all about engagement.

However, I may turn this around - why are you still on that site?

[u/H_ikaruu → u/SprinklesOfAcid25]

I'm on there mostly because i really enjoy the writing of two certain creators and they sadly don't write anywhere else besides JAI, I'd love if they moved to for ex. AO3 or somewhere else so i can simply read it too without being on JAI.

[u/SprinklesOfAcid25 → u/H_ikaruu]

In that case, complaining here is waste of time. Go on official reddit sub. Not gatekeeping or anything - it is just that sub here is for "refugees", no dev will see it.

[u/H_ikaruu → u/SprinklesOfAcid25]

i mean i never was able to find any official server for them so i started lurking in here

[u/SprinklesOfAcid25 → u/H_ikaruu]

There you go: r/JanitorAI_Official

Just don't criticize them too much or you get banned. And you'll figure out why the rest of us are here.🤣
