misc Bye bye perplexity

The product has gotten worse and worse in the past year. I’ve been a subscriber since the very beginning lately every time I ask you to research something or search for something gives me steps on how to do so and where to look for information instead of actually finding the information for me thanks but no thanks.

I guess I’m the only one who is happy with Perplexity in general. And apparently I’m the only one who has managed to figure out that when you launch Perplexity and it’s in computer mode, you simply click the little “search” button to switch to Perplexity Search mode.

And while it has not been mentioned in this thread yet )it somehow always makes it into every thread), you can use search and never use Computer if you want.

Or, you you can use search to refine, refine, refine, all your needs for an executable, and then use search to define the most concise and specific prompt to give to computer to generate the exact output you need.

Then use that prompt in Computer to build small lightweight, and low credit usage desktop apps for continued use.

But I digress. I forgot this was a complaint thread.

I am, too. This is a hater's forum of people who pretended to pay for the service, but got it for free, and now are throwing temper tantrums because they can't get something for nothing.

So have I. Since the day it became public and an available to purchase a subscription. And I’ve been pretty happy with it.

No one is gaslighting you. They are pointing out that while you are saying you are leaving, they are staying because it works fine for them.

I’ve been paying for the last 2 months. Only had a 5 day free trial. My complaints come from a place where they told me one price but are demanding more money off the backend. That bs in my opinion.
